Does God have a sense of humour? Is He intimately acquainted with the minutest details of our lives? If prayer comes naturally to us during times of great crisis, what about those times when life is just moving along, and nothing really remarkable is happening except the changing textures and tempo of our thoughts and feelings? Can we then connect to a personal God? This collection of contemporary poems illustrates the many moods of a poet's prayers, sometimes sharing the pain of moments lived, sometimes a chuckle or a thought with her friend, Hanuman.
