description: In this volume of short reflective pieces, Thomas Merton acts as a conversation partner for the author, who draws on Merton’s monastic experience in order to help us reflect on the motivational centre out of which we all live, work and serve. Seek the Silences is not a call to a spirituality that pulls us towards God but removes us from the pain, need and challenges of the world. Rather it highlights that it is necessary to be still before God in order to hear and then do; to disengage in order to be empowered; to be embraced in order to serve.
