Great definition of Contemplation


Contemplation is a wordless resting in the presence of God beyond all thoughts and images. So, in contemplation, we’re not thinking of anything. We’re not thinking of anything, but we’re wordlessly resting in a presence beyond thought that’s intimately accessing our heart as we intimately access it, and we rest in the oneness. —James Finley

The above was quoted by Richard Rohr. I have been thinking about this way of describing contemplation. I love the idea of resting in the oneness of our united hearts.
