I have recently discovered Merton and desire to learn as much as I can about him; this will be a wonderful resource for me. I'm grateful for it.

Suddenly it was gone. I find such an experience deflating because I used a "happening" today on my way home from Nettles Island to encourage you. But, yes, do it for yourself and those of us who would benefit from your contemplative nature.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822894759353679437.post-22059593798216865562006-12-08T20:19:00.000-05:002006-12-08T20:19:00.000-05:00thanks for the encouragement, Sally and Antony.

I know Merton as a man who was not much interested in otherworldly or esoteric religion. His attention was firmly centered in the ordinary experience of ordinary human beings. That was mystery enough for him.beth cioffolettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300116274007165612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822894759353679437.post-34263118235822041642006-12-08T18:42:00.000-05:002006-12-08T18:42:00.000-05:00just wondering why Thomas wasn't a mystic....

As you know, I too am deeply drawn to Merton's writings and way of thinking.<br /><br />But why rein yourself in? You write beautifully, and have a lot to say. You go, girl!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
