I'm launching into "other" Merton reading as well as over the years he's a person that I never paid much attention to - he's begging for my attention now and his words are so uplifting and ring so true for me. Hope you'll read some of his work.<BR/><BR/>Lucy, Oh, we discussed together that he's really speaking to us Dianna Woolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901349180265745138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17699332.post-29023940801691719392009-01-19T19:33:00.000-08:002009-01-19T19:33:00.000-08:00So glad you have your very own copy now SS.

It's so important to be aware of his words coming from those blessed voices we suspect or don't even bother to notice are his:) <BR/><BR/>oxoxDianna Woolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901349180265745138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17699332.post-51265373038201390052009-01-18T07:13:00.000-08:002009-01-18T07:13:00.000-08:00I smiled when I read your words because I've done ...I smiled when I read your words because I've done this with books so many times on retreats. The covetousness. The return to being community-spirited - but with a tinge of resentment. The continuing siren-song of "the book".<BR/>I'm so glad you now have your hands on this one. Merton speaks to us all.<BR/><BR/>I remember reading something very disparaging a very strict Christian said about him Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
