Pentecost

 

Kelly Latimore Icon

"You have made us together, you have made us one and many, you have placed me here in the midst as witness, as awareness, and as joy. Here I am. In me the world is present and you are present. I am a link in the chain of light and of presence. You have made me a kind of center, but a center that is nowhere. And yet I am 'here,' … 'here' under these trees, not others. The prayers of your friends and my own prayers have somehow been answered, and I am here … My being here is a response you have asked of me, to something I have not clearly heard. But I have responded, and I am content …."

- Thomas Merton, Conjectures of A Guilty Bystander
