Exhortation - Thomas Merton

This is a country whose center is everywhere
and whose circumference is nowhere.
You do not find it by travelling but by standing
still.
Yet it is in this loneliness that the deepest
activities begin.
It is here that you discover act without motion,
labor that is profound repose,
vision in obscurity,
and, beyond all desire,
a fulfillment whose limits extend to infinity.
