Thomas Merton, The Path to the Palace of Nowhere: It seems then to me...

Thomas Merton, O.C.S.O. was an American Catholic writer and mystic. A Trappist monk of the Abbey of Gethsemani, Kentucky, he was a poet, social activist, and student of comparative religion.
James Finley left home at the age of 18 for the Abbey of Gethsemani in Trappist, Kentucky, where Thomas Merton lived as a contemplative. Finley stayed at the monastery for six years, living the traditional Trappist life of prayer, silence, and solitude. Here Finley describes life with Thomas Merton, and how he pointed the way to an enlightened state of awareness open to us all.

Wonderful insightful words. Thank you.

Thanks James for the thoughtful post. I loved the story about the woman in the orchard as a young girl staring up at the sky. It seems to me that we all have some recognition of this gift being given to us. However, we often view ourselves as unworthy recipients and refuse to accept the gift wholeheartedly.
