Bringing alive the heartfelt words and artwork contributed by creators diverse in spiritual perspective and identity, Conversations with the Sacred is a moving testimony to the power of prayer. Prayers of love, lamentation, justice, inspiration, and transcendence—all are here, thoughtfully selected by editors Manish Mishra-Marzetti and Jennifer Kelleher.

Whatever your relationship to prayer, whether it comes naturally, you have a complicated history with it, or you have never prayed before, Conversations with the Sacred is a powerful and accessible resource for anyone looking to explore or deepen a spiritual practice of reflection or prayer.

I love putting on makeup.

I love taking off makeup.

The rituals, the ablutions.

It’s oddly self soothing.

I groom myself like a cat.

Like a bird in the sand.

Like a hare with its paws.

As a bird tends its plumes.

My war paint.

My potions.

My courage, my self devotion.

Receive without pride, let go without attachment.

"Human lives are brief and trivial. Yesterday a blob of semen; tomorrow embalming fluid, ash."

The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts.
