"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
