Thomas Moore, bestselling author of Care of the Soul and Soul Mates, draws on the twelve years he lived as a monk in this insightful book of a hundred one-page meditations. Interspersed with glimpses of the beauty and humor of the monk's life, each page suggests a way of finding spirituality and nurturing the soul that can be applied in any walk of life.

"[Moore] is a literate, informed, and careful par- ticipant observer, and his meditations are full of practical insights for life.... The collection is as much about the poetry and music of our lives together as about overtly religious discipline." Booklist
