"A desert spirituality is a spirituality of waiting upon God. There is an element of timelessness, of eternity, about the desert. The characteristic prayer of the desert is a prayer of simply waiting."
David Prail
"The true contemplative waits on the Word of God in silence, and when he is 'answered,' it is not so much by a word that bursts into his silence. It is by his silence itself suddenly, inexplicably revealing itself to him as a word of great power, full of the voice of God."
Thomas Merton
