- Synopsis
- The author believes the sacred is all around, within finger's reach. Here to be gathered, culled, collected, through the simple yet complex art of paying attention, of savoring the moment, of cultivating stillness. Making room for the God and illuminating the Godly specks in the everyday. Noticing the seen, revealing the unseen, and pinpointing the Divine in both. The book sifts through the terrain of three particular landscapes where the author most often encounters the stirrings of the Divine: Under heaven's dome -- be it a starry winter's night or November's moody sky with its insistent call to turn within, in her early-morning garden, or wrapped in birdsong at firstlight, its hallelujah lovesongs. The most essential prayer, often, is the life closely examined, held up to the light. By probing deeply the nooks and crannies of the homefront, the author points out that the reader need not venture far to find what matters most. The landscape here is multi-textured, full of dappled light and shadow. And the questions stirred will linger, long after the page is turned.
