In silence we face and admit the gap between the depth of our being, which we consistently ignore, and the surface which is untrue to our own reality. We recognize the need to be at home with ourselves in order that we may go out to meet others, not just with a mask of affability, but with real commitment and authentic love. That is the reason for choosing silence.
Thomas Merton, Love & Living, Naomi Burton Stone and Br. Patrick Hart, Editors. New York: Harcourt. 1979, p. 41.

About

Avatar A parabola is one of the most dynamic forms in nature. It is the curve of a bowl, the path of a ball soaring upward and down to earth again. The founder of this magazine decided it was a good name for a journal devoted to the search for meaning, which often goes outward, then back home again along a different path.

More than thirty-five years later, PARABOLA does what other magazines and media cannot. Four times a year, we explore one of the timeless themes of human existence, drawing on wisdom from the world’s traditions, ways, and art. At PARABOLA, we further understanding, peace, and tolerance one reader at a time. .
