Silence and Thought are Both Needed on the Spiritual Journey

"What do I need? Seriously, I need silence, thought, solitude to enter into myself to see and touch reality, to live the contemplative life."

Thomas Merton

I love this passage, especially because Merton understands that both thought and no-thought are necessary for a healthy contemplative life. In so doing, he presents a true non-duality.
