NAMED ONE OF THE BEST SPIRITUAL BOOKS OF 2021 BY SPIRITUALITY &
PRACTICE Bearing witness to the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic
When New York City went into lockdown in March 2020, spiritual
leader Micah Bucey found the world and himself in desperate need of
prayer. While social distancing created disconnect, Bucey began a
daily practice of writing a "Tiny Prayer" each morning and posting
it on social media, each offering a reflection on what was going on
in his own heart and in the wider world. Soon, a solitary practice
became a communal one, with others engaging and sharing the prayers
that touched them most, suggesting issues and topics for future
prayers, and creating connection across a digital divide. Over the
course of a year filled with fear and faith, protest and
possibility, Bucey composed prayers for frontline workers and
activists, those lost to illness and wins for democracy, for civic
leaders, celebrities, and everyday emotions. While overwhelm
threatened to engulf us all, these short meditations invited a
combination of attention and intention in bite-sized form that
aided the reader in focusing on one issue at a time, from the rise
of infections, hospitalizations, and deaths, to police violence,
social justice uprisings, immigrant detentions, catastrophic
climate events, mass shootings, and violent right-wing
insurrections. Now, all 366 "Tiny Prayers" are collected here,
together forming a chronicle of a specific moment in time and
modeling a form for everyone to compose their own tiny prayers to
engage the everyday around them. The Book of Tiny Prayer recalls a
very particular year, but its spirit is universal, inviting all to
quiet themselves, name the pain and the joy around them, and
recommit to the change required for collective liberation, during
the worst times and far beyond.
