1 " When I walk in the forest just before the meal, while reciting the scriptural phrase that I " meditate" for that day, spiritual joy comes over me as if by appointment. "
2 " Do not look for rest in any pleasure, because you were not created for pleasure: you were created for spiritual joy. And if you do not know the difference between pleasure and spiritual joy you have not yet begun to live. "
― Thomas Merton , New Seeds of Contemplation
