In the interior desert, we come face to face with the realization that all things emerge out of the Great Silence and dissolve back into it. Spiritual maturity enables us to see that this Silence is actually a spacious, all-absorbing Love; one, as Thomas Merton says, "that is too vast to be completely felt."
