Laurence Freeman is a Benedictine monk who is the spiritual guide of the World Community for Christian Meditation. In this paperback, he examines a few of the spiritual riches of mediation including silence, stillness and simplicity.
But the best thing about this work is the many ways he sheds light on this twice-a-day practice of non-discursive prayer. He describes meditation as a school for love, a turning toward the pure direct light of God within, a pathway to attention and listening, and a way beyond success and failure.
