Foraging Texas is a field guide and reference for people who want to learn about wild edible plants across the state of Texas. It covers edible plants native or naturalized in the lone star state and describes wild‐harvesting basics, ethics, identification, distribution, harvesting methods, recipes, and historical uses. The guide is easy for beginners to use. It''s primarily organized by plant type (i.e., tree, shrub, herb) and secondarily by plant family (i.e., sunflower family, carrot family, etc.) and has detailed photos to aid in identification. The guide is also a useful reference for more experienced foragers. Although this guide focuses on the edible plants of Texas, because the state of Texas covers such a wide variety of ecoregions and habitats, Foraging Texas is also useful in neighboring states like Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and beyond.

The fragments of the Key begin to surface... After saving the woman he loves from the dark sorcerers of Ankhara, Fen realizes for the first time that his power can be a force for good. But the power is wild and uncontrollable and he doesn''t have long before it devours him as it did his father. His only hope is to summon one of the ancient Shapers and convince it to teach him what he needs to know. Aislin has kept the secret of the strange artifact she found in the alien underground vault. But her secret is not as safe as it seems. The agents of the Devourers know what she has found and they will threaten everyone she loves if she doesn''t give it to them. The Guardian Kasai has created new, more powerful warriors to threaten Karliss and his clan. As powerful as Karliss is, he knows he will inevitably lose to Kasai. Seeing no other options, he conceives a desperate plan to retrieve the lost words of power, but their origins are shrouded in legend and to track them down he and his companions will have to complete a dangerous quest.

Three children with the powers of Stone, Sea and Sky... Are all that stands between the world and the chaotic power of the Abyss. Fen is only a boy when his city is sacked by enemy invaders. His mother is cut down before his eyes. Yet somehow when the blade is turned on him, he survives without a scratch. But the attack seems to have awakened something inside him, something that killed his father years ago. Aislin came from the sea, her origins a mystery. Within her is an innate power over water, as natural as breathing. But she lives in a world of her own, emotionally isolated from everyone else, including the woman who is raising her. Bullied by the other children, one day she turns her power on them. Karliss was touched by the wind at birth, destined to be the greatest wind shaman his people have ever seen. But he is careless with his power and he ignores the warnings about the madness that afflicts those who don''t protect themselves against the spirits in the wind. When the powerful, inhuman denizens of the Abyss reach out to take the world, only these three have a chance of stopping them, but only if they can learn to master their powers in time...

The final battle has begun. Melekath''s Children are at the gates of Qarath. But the city''s two chief defenders, Wulf Rome and Quyloc, are gone, trapped in the Pente Akka by the fell creature that rules the shadow world. Will they be able to escape before their life energy is drained and used to shred the veil that protects the world from the abyss? Netra is a prisoner of Reyna, most powerful of the Children. Her only hope is a rescue by Shorn, her loyal companion. But when Reyna learns that Netra is a follower of Xochitl, the god who was most instrumental in creating the prison where she spent the last 3,000 years, she may just kill Netra outright. Shakre and the Takare have made it to Wreckers Gate, the doorway to their ancestral home, only to find one of the Guardians now rules there. The spirit-kin have taken control of the Takare. Their plan to defeat the Guardian depends on the aid of ancient allies, allies who have been betrayed by the Takare before in the events that led to the tragedy of Wreckers Gate. But their plan may result in the death of everyone.

Poisoned by the shadow creature Ilsith, Fen can no longer summon the power of Stone. When the Ankharan sorcerers falsely accuse him of treason, he is imprisoned, and now faces execution as a traitor. His only hope is if he can get through to the Fist and help him see what is really happening in his kingdom. But the Fist is corrupted by chaos power and he only listens to the sorcerers. Will Fen recover his power and get through to the man who is like a father to him, or will he die on the executioner''s block?Karliss and his clan face increased attacks by the Guardian Kasai.

Now she must learn how to control it or risk endangering everyone she loves. Consumed by this, she is unprepared when the surprise attack comes.And all the while Lowellin and the Ankharan sorcerers continue their efforts to open the Abyss and free the Devourers...

The ideas I have written about here come mostly from a book called A Course in Miracles, published by the Foundation For Inner Peace, in 1976. It is a book I strongly recommend you read.However, it is my experience that A Course in Miracles is a fairly difficult book for most people to get through. It is vast and dense. Each paragraph is packed with enough information for hours of contemplation and meditation. It can be thought of as a graduate-level textbook and it takes some real work to make sense of it.A Few Simple Words is an introduction to some of the Course''s basic tenets. It is my hope that you will be drawn to what I write of and then read A Course in Miracles yourself.
