<Love and gratitude are special ways of being alive. Learn how to meditate on paper. Drawing and writing are forms of meditation. Learn how to contemplate works of art. Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time. Learn how to pray in the streets or in the country. Know how to meditate not only when you have a book in your hand but when you are waiting for a bus or riding in a train. There is not a flower that opens, not a seed that falls into the ground, and not an ear of wheat that nods on the end of its stalk in the wind that does not preach and proclaim the greatness and the mercy of God to the whole world. Remember: Today will never come again. - Thomas Merton>
