About the Book:

At profound, often unperceived levels, everything connects—even apparent opposites: hope and despair, life and death, poverty and riches, relationships thriving and soured. The inner reality of hidden wholeness is buried beneath the overpowering immediacy of the external world.

Inspired by Thomas Merton, Dorothea Lange, and others, these photographs attempt to see beneath that immediacy. Taken on travels as mundane as business trips and family outings, or as extraordinary as the March on Washington of ‘63 and a retreat at the Monastery of the Holy Cross, the photographs attempt to capture, however fleetingly, both the hope and despair that permeates the world.
