Devotion is a prosepoem to the love of my life. For several months in 1996, i wrote a brief letter each day to my God, sometimes rejoicing, sometimes desperately searching... always in awe of his grace and goodness toward me. Devotion consists of 22 selections from those letters.
I didn't have hypertext (or even publication) on my mind when i wrote devotion, but hypertext is the perfect medium for this piece. Find your way into the heart of devotion quietly, gradually... once you enter, a new page will automatically load every few seconds, with a brief sample from an one of the 22 instalments. If a sample interests you, you can access the full instalment by clicking on its number at the bottom... and if you don't get to read all of a sample, don't worry; it will come back around.
If you don't want to drift for a few minutes before choosing an instalment, you can choose one from the menu below... But if this is your first time, i highly recommend the drifting approach.
