Christine Valters Paintner over at the
Abbey of the Arts has given us a link to her article:
The Practice of Contemplation as Witness and Resistance. Please take time out to read this since it provides a balanced view of the contemplative life in modern practice. Such a life is not mere navel-gazing but the seeding of an active, prophetic life. The post is
here.

When you can do nothing else: bear witness.
