What is prayer if not the acknowledgement of one's relationship to the Divine? What is poetry if not a kind of prayer that rises from the heart in image and metaphor? What is this book if not the poems offered up as testimony to the author's relationship to the Divine? From his entry into the religious life in 1965 to the 2020's pandemic pause, these are intimate prayers, images of life lived in times of transition, and metaphors of how one understands what it means to be human.
