Silent Meditation

(Beginning in 2019?)

Opening Silence, Centering Prayer,

Christian Meditation,

TM, Zazen, Whatever…

As Thomas Merton writes,

We are all one silence and a diversity of voices. 

You have made us together, you have made us one and many, you have placed me here  in the midst as witness, as awareness, and as joy. Here I am. In me the world is present and you are present. I am a link in the chain of light and of presence. You have made me a kind of centre, but a centre that is nowhere. And yet I am “here,” let us say I am “here” under these trees, not others. ..*
