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

Both the Trappist monk Thomas Merton and the Jewish

scholar Abraham Heschel wrote movingly about sacred time.
