From the author, Dennis Rivers: In this book I look at the process of prayer with new eyes, and report on my experiments over a lifetime of reaching out, reaching in, and opening up, toward the Divine Presence that calls each of us to a deeper love, a deeper life, and a deeper creativity. Throughout the book, I feature the extraordinary fractal paintings of Vicky Brago-Mitchell to express both growth and development, on one hand, and also how in nature and the spiritual life, the smaller can express the greater, the particle can express the universe.
