NTRODUCTION

For thousands of years our ancestors marked the daily cycle of dark

and light with poems, prayers, stories, songs. Recognizing the

repetition and variation of changing light was a matter of survival

as well as sacred knowledge. Throughout the world people have

prayed at the border between sleep and waking, turned their fiaces

stars on television instead of the stars in the sky.

Both the Trappist monk Thomas Merton and the Jewish

scholar Abraham Heschel wrote movingly about sacred time.

Merton was com,inced that if you let the hours of the day saturate you,

and you gave them time, something would happen. He said that one of
