Prayer in the Cave of the Heart, is available in paperback or e-book form at Liturgical Press.  It is also available on Amazon.

Prayer is an art that cannot just be taught. It must be experienced, lived, and practiced. In Prayer in the Cave of the Heart, Cyprian Consiglio draws on his experience as a Camaldolese monk to give readers an accessible reflection on prayer that is based on Bede Griffith's "universal call to contemplation." In this text, the contemplative traditions of East and West intersect to invite readers into prayer that makes them present to the Spirit who is already present to us."

Circle Song   

   Again, again we come and go,
   changed, changing.
   Hands join, unjoin in love and fear,
   grief and joy.
   The circles turn, each giving into each, into all.
   and only music keeps us here,
   each by all the others held
   in the hold of hands and eyes.
   We turn in pairs, that joining,
   joining each to all again...
   and only music keeps us here.
  (Wendell Berry)
