Imagine the transformation that could happen in our world if we lived with mindfulness, conscious of our place in the universe. If we viewed every aspect of our lives, from the seemingly mundane to the extraordinary, as an arena for justice. If we prayed and reflected and labored as though everything we do lasts forever, because in God's time, it does. This book of prayer and reflection was born of just such imagining and longing. During these days of writing, I have held in my heart all who will enter these pages. My prayer is that, together, we may continue to stake our lives on God's dream of a world blessed and sacred, whole and holy.
