“At the center of our being is a point of nothingness which is untouched
by sin and by illusion, a point of pure truth...which is inaccessible to the fantasies of our own
mind or the brutalities of our own will.
"This little point of
nothingness…is like a pure diamond, blazing with the invisible light of
heaven. It is in everybody, and if we could see it we would see these
billions of points of light coming together in the face and blaze of a
sun that would make all the darkness and cruelty of life vanish
completely.
"I have no program for this seeing. It is only given. But
the gate of heaven is everywhere.”--Thomas Merton
