In this meditation, we step into the beauty of unknowing—releasing the need for answers and learning to live into the questions. Inspired by Thomas Merton’s wisdom, this practice invites you to breathe, rest, and carry poetic questions as gentle companions on the contemplative path.

“If you seek understanding before you believe, you will never believe.” – Thomas Merton
