Description
A Sunlit Absence: Silence, Awareness, and Contemplation by Martin Laird In this companion volume to Into the Silent Land, Martin Laird explores the practice of contemplation as a spiritual art that harnesses the winds of grace. He reveals how this skill can help us uncover deeper levels of awareness within ourselves, embracing both silence and sound in a way that transcends subject-object dualisms. Drawing on the wisdom of great contemplatives, Laird shows how our practice can mature, allowing us to experience life's challenges with greater generosity and receptivity. By letting go of turbulent thoughts and emotions, we can cultivate a "sunlit absence" - a luminous awareness in which God's presence can be most profoundly felt. This book offers wise guidance on contemplative practice, as well as an inspiring vision of its purpose and central role in our spiritual lives.
