How to begin your meditation


"The purpose of a book is to teach you how to think
and not to do your thinking for you. . . .
As soon as any thought stimulates your mind
or your heart,
you can put the book down,
because your meditation has begun."
― Thomas Merton

(quoted by Marianne Borg in the Foreword of Days of Awe and Wonder: How to Be a Christian in the 21st Century, by Marcus Borg, 2017)
