Let no one hope to find in contemplation an escape from conflict, from anguish or from doubt. On the contrary, the deep inexpressible certitude of the contemplative experience awakens a tragic anguish and opens many questions in the depths of the heart like wounds that cannot stop bleeding. ✨ Thomas Merton (2007). New Seeds of Contemplation, p.12, New Directions Publishing
