Synopsis
Prayer of the World opens a window into an astonishingly beautiful world, showing life as a vast prayer in which we live and breathe. Through poetry and luminous photographs, it brings forth the voices of earth, sea, sky, and the entire web of life. From star fire to water’s blue stillness, from eagle’s soaring flight to canary’s solemn teaching comes the plea: “Join the prayer; the web is greatly strained.”
This book grew out of Maia Tapp’s Minnie Jane Scholarship work at Pendle Hill, and includes some photos and poems about the Quaker retreat center.
