This collection of insights, parables, and meditations from the Christian spiritual and literary tradition helps to reveal the presence of the divine within the world and within oneself. Drawing from both classical and contemporary sources, including Jesus, the Lord's Prayer, Job and the Psalms, Tolstoy, Pascal, Carlo Carretto, and Annie Dillard, these writings foster a deep appreciation of the spiritual practice of being present and address subjects such as grief, healing, transformation, and hope. Directed at those who are seeking a deeper appreciation of both God and self, these reflections challenge flimsy mental constructs and comfortable conclusions about the world.
