' Our Original Unity '...

"And the deepest level of communication is not
communication, but communion.

It is wordless.

It is beyond
words, and it is beyond speech, and it is beyond concept.

Not
that we discover a new unity.

We discover an older unity.

My
dear brothers, we are already one.

But we imagine that we are
not.

And what we have to recover is our original unity.

What we
have to be is what we are."



~ The Asian Journal of Thomas Merton
