Back in the ''90''s, life was going just fine for young Karen. From a small town in Wyoming, her family knew just about everyone. It was a safer time to live back then, and she and her siblings played outside all day. She knew just about everyone in her neighborhood, and there were many kids around her age to play with. They would ride their bikes around the dirt road, swing on the set that was nearby and have water fights in the yard. She lived a happy, normal life; until she started to experience some strange things with her body. Concerned, her parents took her to doctors as time went on, but the doctors didn''t seem too concerned, giving such excuses as puberty and growing up. Any tests they did were coming back normal, so there was no need to worry. Mom worried anyway, and after Karen started losing her eyesight, the lame explanations weren''t going to cut it anymore! Mom needed answers! Karen has always wanted to share her story with any who would listen. She wrote this short memoir to support and inspire those who also might find themselves in difficult situations. She also wrote to hopefully entertain a bit, as she shared what she was thinking as a 12-year-old girl. This has been a long road for her, as she used notes she''d written down over the years, as well as a journal kept by her mom.

Die individuellen Persönlichkeiten von Hühnern; ein Nashorn, das sein Leben lang immer wieder einen Menschen besucht, um gemeinsam Zeit zu verbringen; eine unerwartete Begegnung zwischen einer Katze und einem Vogel; Hunde, die in einer zukünftigen Welt ihre Gemeinschaft durch Geschichten strukturieren, die sie einander erzählen. Begegnungen mit (anderen) Tieren versammelt literarische, wissenschaftliche und essayistische Texte zu ungewöhnlichen Begegnungen zwischen Tieren und Menschen – mal in stärker interagierender, mal mehr in beobachtender Rolle –, denen gemeinsam ist, dass sie neue Formen der Wahrnehmung, von Offenheit und Empathie ermöglichen, einfordern und damit unser gewohntes Denken, unsere Ordnung der Dinge in Frage stellen. Tiere erscheinen als soziale Wesen miteinander und mit Menschen, die sie, wie die Autor*innen, als eigenständige Subjekte ernst nehmen. Die Texte geben Einblicke in das soziale und kulturelle Leben von Pavianen und Raben oder berichten von der sprachlosen Kommunikation mit Waschbären und Nabelschweinen, vom Lachen mit Delfinen, und nicht zuletzt davon, wie sich Menschen in diesen Begegnungen mit (anderen) Tieren selbst verändern. Die Anthologie versammelt Texte aus den letzten 30 Jahren von zumeist US-amerikanischen Autor*innen in der Übersetzung von Susanne Opfermann: Kurzgeschichten von Kij Johnson, Ursula K. Le Guin und Gregory Blake Smith; Erlebnisberichte von Craig Childs, Barbara Kingsolver, Anna Merz und Stacy Young; und wissenschaftliche Texte von Karen Davis, Toni G. Frohoff und Barbara Smuts. Die unterschiedlichen Genres ergänzen und kommentieren einander; verbindend sind die besonderen, unterhaltsamen und nachdenklichen Erfahrungen von Begegnung, die sie vermitteln. Sie schaffen ungewöhnliche Perspektiven darauf, was wir von anderen Tieren lernen und wie wir gemeinsam in unserer nicht-nur-menschlichen Welt (über-)leben können. Mit den Texten Craig Childs: Raben Karen Davis: Das geistige Leben von Hühnern, beobachtet an ihren sozialen Beziehungen Toni G. Frohoff: Jenseits der Speziesgrenze Kij Johnson: Die Evolution der Trickster-Geschichten unter den Hunden vom North Park nach der Wende Barbara Kingsolver: Frieden schließen Ursula K. Le Guin: Sie entnennt sie Anna Merz: Ein Nashorn aus der Wildnis von Hand aufziehen Gregory Blake Smith: Hände Barbara Smuts: Begegnungen mit dem Bewusstsein von Tieren Stacy Young: Jenseits von Jäger und Beute

More and more strangers were coming to warn me in whispered tones about Mark''s infidelity. The signs were overwhelming. Mark was having an affair. Some of his friends knew it and even dropped hints. At the same time, Mark bragged to them about not having to worry about me cheating. This left me humiliated and angry. It was changing me. I found myself doing things that I never thought I would. One day, I got so angry when I found him and one of his side chicks in our bedroom that I grabbed the biggest knife I could find and chased her... How did it come to this? I mean, we met at a Christian youth camp for crying out loud! At the beginning, we had lots of fun together. u200bu200bu200bu200bu200bu200bu200bWe were always laughing and joking. He seemed to be serious about his relationship with God and regularly gave Bible studies. We did things the right way, so what happened? Later I realized there were some signs I had ignored at the time. When my first marriage ended, I was drained, angry, and depressed, almost to the point of being disabled. It got so bad that my mother had to help bathe me, a grown woman with 3 children. I almost lost my faith. But over the next few years, God would heal me and turn my life completely around. Now I enjoy a marriage where I don''t have to "make him loyal." So how was I able to move to a new country, earn two college degrees, start a new career, and rebuild a new life with my three children? To share the story of how I got into that situation and how God turned ashes into beauty is exactly why I''ve written this story of hope.
