THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
"And the deepest level of communication is not communication, but communion. It is wordless. It is beyond words, and it is beyond speech, and it is beyond concept. Not that we discover a new unity. We discover an older unity. My dear, we are already one. But we imagine we are not. And what we have to recover is our original unity. What we have to be is what we are."
~Thomas Merton, The Hidden Ground of Love.
