"The practice of contemplation is one of the great spiritual arts," writes Martin Laird in A Sunlit Absence. "Not a technique but a skill, it harnesses the winds of grace that lead us out into the liberating sea of silence."
In this companion volume to his bestselling Into the Silent Land, Laird focuses on a quality often overlooked by books on Christian meditation: a vast and flowing spaciousness that embraces both silence and sound, and transcends all subject/object dualisms. Drawing on the wisdom of great contemplatives from St. Augustine and

A Sunlit Absence: Silence, Awareness, and Contemplation by Martin Laird Book Review

Name: Dougal Fraser
Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Title: Development and deepening of contemplation
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 20, 2014
Review: Gently insightful, quiet in tone, thoroughly researched, this book takes readers still further into silence, awareness and contemplation than the preceding book, "Into the Silent Land". Anecdotes from modern day experience, the wisdom of desert and church fathers, saints, poetry, art and novels are all gathered in support and illustration of the book's themes. They are used in such a way that the reader wants to go back to the original texts, so I refreshed myself with Seamus Heaney's poetry, picked up the writings of Evagrius for the first time and resolved to return to St. Teresa of Avila. Contemplation informs every part of life, so it is fitting that every part of life should meet with contemplation in this book.
I was grateful that the difficulties of contemplation were investigated at some depth. Some points of practice about which I was unsure after reading "Into the Silent Land" became much clearer for me, producing shifts and growth that were palpable in my own life. "A Sunlit Absence" is best read after "Into the Silent Land" because there is a clear development and deepening from one text to the next. I shall read this book much more than once.

Title: Contemplative Prayer "Silence, Awareness & Contemplation"
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 16, 2012
Review: Another gem by Martin Laird, "A Sunlit Absence" presents further encouragement in the practice of contemplation, "one of the great spiritual arts." Many sources all the way from John of the Cross to Mark Twain to Holy Scripture enrich the reader's experience. Laird gives specific ways to quiet constant mind-tripping and the videos that run on and on. Describing how we are held prisoner to inner chatter, he quotes St. Hesychios. "A donkey going round and round in a mill cannot step out of the circle."

Through physical silence in prayer, as our awareness is deepened, compassion for others grows. One meets noise with stillness. Again Laird quotes St. Hesychios, "Awareness is a spiritual method which, sedulously practiced over a long period, completely frees us with God's help from compulsive thoughts."

After long practice and many failures, silent prayer allows us to receive "with awareness all that is, just as it is, as a large screened-in porch receives whatever breeze that blows."

Finally "We learn to see whatever difficulties we experience in meditation - boredom, lethargy, arrogance, depression, grief, anxiety - not as obstacles to be overcome but as opportunities to practice surrender."

If you practice Contemplative Prayer, "A Sunlit Absence" will be a welcome addition to your library.

Title: Practical instruction in contemplative prayer
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 22, 2021
Review: This is a very practical book for anyone who wants to embark on learning to pray contemplatively. it gives you actual instruction and not just theory (although it gives that too). I didn't read the first book, and that has not been a problem, although this one is so good I might buy all 3.

Title: Depth with Clarity
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 22, 2017
Review: The subtitle - "silence, awareness, and contemplation" - summarizes the focus of this magnificent book perfectly. I've been practicing centering prayer daily for the past six months (after a long hiatus), and Laird's insights have helped me immensely to see beneath (beyond? through?) the basic practice of "when thoughts arise, simply return to your sacred word." No New Age-y book, this work contains dozens and dozens of footnoted quotes from traditional contemplative masters such as St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, St. Augustine, and the author of The Cloud of Unknowing. You'll also likely be introduced to lesser-known fathers such as Evagrius the Solitary (4th Century).

Review: This short book is a great introduction to the practice of prayer and silent meditation. His use of Tolstoy is especially rich.

Title: Recovering the importance of "awareness" in Contemplative Prayer.
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 24, 2016
Review: This is a richly and wisely informed exploration of the value and place that "awareness" has in the practice of Contemplative Prayer. Awareness is shown to have an honored place in wisdom tradition of the Desert Fathers and Mothers of the early Early Christian Movement. Yet, this seems to be a neglected aspect of the modern enthusiasm for Centering Prayer. Martin Laird, a historical theological, redresses this neglect in a work that has significant relevance for those of us moderns who struggle to break free from the tyranny of thoughts and feelings..

Title: An Appropriate Title
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 17, 2013
Review: I loved this book by Fr. Martin. In it, he describes the 2 dynamics of contemplative practice as both deepening concentration and expanding awareness. The title of the book really does say it all as he probes our experience of the Silence and it's relationship to true awareness in everyday life experiences. I'd always wondered about my own internal commentary and he speaks much about the difference between thoughts which ebb and flow through the mind and the incessant commentary that has a tendency to become attached and which then leads us into all kinds of "reactionary" ways of being.
I appreciate his wonderful insight and find myself returning to the book for meditation on particularly meaningful passages.

Title: Great Follow Up to Author's First Book
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 7, 2018
Review: Whereas I would disagree about the author's ultimate practical ways and means of meditative prayer, I do very much believe in the ultimate focus and purpose of this reality that surrounds us. Well written, Scripturally based and very insightful. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the contemplative life.
