Communion of Life: Meditations for the New Millennium

by Chris Glaser

These poetic meditations are designed to enhance the quest for life-affirming spirituality. Grouped around the themes of earth, air, fire, and water, the meditations guide the reader toward an understanding of spirituality grounded in the here and now of ordinary experience--which, Chris Glaser says, becomes extraordinary and sacred in contemplation.
