Synopsis
"Contemplation of beauty is hte consolation of hte world." -- from the Introduction
A collaboration between a writer/poet and a photographer, The Soul of the World speqaks to our desire for connection and celebration by contemporizing the medieval book of hours--a classical device for "making holy the houirs." Each day is divided into eight periods of guided meditation that trace the natural rhythms of hte day and week, joining the inner world of hte spirit and the outer world of nature and reconnecting our souls with the soul of hte world.
POhotographs from around the world--froim sunrise in Darjeeling to midnight in Santa Fe--are paried with eclectic passages by diverse thinkers, including Lao Tzu, Sappho, Hildegard of Beigen, John Keats, Langston Hughes, Anna Akmatova, Jorge Luis Borges, Gary Snyder, Rosario Castellanos, David Brower, adn many more.
Juxtaposing eclectic reflections with stunning photographs from around the world, this modern book of hours serves as a "pocket cathedral," creating space for reflection and renewal at any time, in any place.

"But anywhere is the center of the world." -- -- Black Elk
"Every day is a god, each day is a god, and holiness holds forth in time. I worship each god, I praise each day splintered down, and wrapped in time like a husk, a husk of many colors spreading, at down fast over the mountains split." -- -- Annie Dillard
"If the soul could have known God without the world, the world would never have been created." -- -- Meister Eckhart
"The soul is where the inner and outer world meet." -- -- Novalis
