“In this remarkable book, my dear friend and colleague Joel Upton shares his practice of contemplative beholding, which is a journey from separation and loss to the intimation of reconciliation.... His is a trustworthy path toward cultivating the ‘right eyes’ to see deeply into humanity’s great works of art, which is simultaneously a seeing into the human condition and to a ‘more human love.’” — Arthur Zajonc, author of Meditation as Contemplative Inquiry
