In the Making of Time

About the Book

In the Making of Time is a collection of poetry, prayer, and meditation written around one belief: that time itself is the language of God. Through memory, beauty, grief, and love, these poems invite readers to slow down and see deeply. Each page becomes a place to pause and remember our own stories: what was lost, what was loved, what remains unfinished, and what is still being made. Here, the reader is invited to encounter the Creator by entering the book with presence. With gentle tools and meditative invitations moving alongside the poems, there is space to participate in the making of meaning. In Gianna D’Egidio’s reflective, intimate, and profound tone, the book becomes a place to both remember and be made by time. The writing offers a sense of safety: a place to take what you need, leave what you can no longer carry, and return to the good, true, and beautiful. Where two or more are gathered, there is God. You are invited into this gathering.
