"There must be a time of day when the man of prayer goes to pray as if it were the first time in his life he had ever prayed ...
"Life is not to be regarded as an uninterrupted flow of words which is finally silenced by death. Its rhythm develops in silence, comes to the surface in moments of necessary expression, returns to deeper silence, culminates in a final declaration, then ascends quietly into the silence of Heaven which resounds with unending praise."
Thomas Merton
