THE SOUL OF THE WORLD:
A Modern Book of Hours
This modern Book of Hours serves as a pocket cathedral, inspiring reflection and renewal any time, any place.
A collaboration between a writer-poet and a photographer, this book speaks to people's yearning for connection and celebration by contemporizing the medieval Book of Hours - a classical device for making holy the hours.
Tracing the natural rhythms of the day and week, each day is divided into eight periods of guided meditation designed to replenish the reader with beauty, a reminder of the divine presence and reconnect people's souls with the soul of the world.
"What Cousineau's work ultimately does is create a new awareness of time, as well as document our fascination with its passing... Each day becomes a universe in itself... this small gem of a book is like a week in another world.."
-The Palm Beach Post
"Books like this could revive the art of prayer in this secular age."
-The Express
