Summary

This book contains almost 200 poems and/or prayers, a few comments, and over 50 photographs. Some of the prayers are of a standard kind - a prayer on Earth Day, a prayer of thanksgiving, and an evening prayer. Some may be familiar like the Beatitudes and the Lord's Prayer, but written here in the unfamiliar format of Japanese renga. The poems range from 3 lines to 3 pages, and not all rise to level of prayer. The primary purpose of the photographs is to get readers to look at the pictures and slow down. These prayer explorations have the potential of becoming prayers, of finding your own way to the Way. Perhaps they can be a chance to look at new facets of your soul that might light the darkness of your meeting place with God. In your place of solitude May you always find words within your heart that bring the Presence of Love.
