-- Vigils reflects on the edges of the day, and our own difficulty in choosing to begin the journey.
-- Lauds (morning prayer) speaks of that moment when we glimpse our path and launch forth in excitement.
-- Midday Prayer is the time between the innocence of morning and the experience of afternoon, the crossroads of our spiritual journey.
-- Vespers invites us to look backward, and review our life.
-- Compline, or night prayer, is the time for letting go, a time for remembering the reality of death, lest we forget to live in the first place.
Full of humor and eloquently written, Crossing points to a way for us to bring faith and human experience together again.
