Thomas Merton: 

"Let us never forget that the fruitful silence in which words lose their power and concepts escape our grasp is perhaps the perfection of meditation. We need not fear and become restless when we are no longer able to "make acts", rather, we should rejoice and rest in the luminous darkness of faith. This resting is a higher way of prayer".  

 

Jon Kabat-Zinn: 

"Mindfulness is about being fully awake in our lives. It is about perceiving the exquisite vividness of each moment. Through this, we gain immediate access to our own powerful inner resources for insight, transformation, and healing"
