"No writing on the solitary, meditative dimensions of life can say anything that has not already been said better by the wind in the pine trees."
Merton's Prayer: Famous poem by Thomas Merton about the road ahead. My Lord God,I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road
The Illusion Of Perfection I recently received a flattering message from a dear customer asking what my secret was to not just doing great work, but also finding the time to exercise, cook, etc, and while it made my day, it also made me wonder if I was truly deserving of that compliment… or if […]
I have always found the deep split between the spiritual and sexual in nearly all religions, including the Buddhism I practice, very troubling. While it’s possible to argue that Buddhism has …
This engaging book will help readers along to the path to discovering who they are meant to be--what Trappist writer and spiritual master Thomas Merton called \"your true self.\" By meditating on personal examples from the author's life, as well as reflecting on Merton's inspirational life and writings, as well as stories from the Gospels, and the lives of other holy men and women (among them, Henri Nouwen, Therese of Lisieux and Pope John XXIII) the reader will see how becoming who you are--the person that God created--is a simple path to happiness, peace of mind, and even sanctity. As Merton put it, \"For me to be a saint means to be myself.\" Written in an accessible and engaging style by a distinguished author, Becoming Who You Are is very much a \"how-to\" book that will give the reader a grounded way to self-discovery within a Christian context. The text turns on James Martin's personal experiences of realizing that \"all God wants me to be is who I am.\" The author tells of a period, early in his Jesuit novitiate, when he \"tried to be like the other Jesuit novices who I knew.... Finally, my spiritual director gave me some good advice: 'Compare and despair'.'' In other words, don't worry about being anyone other than who you are.\" Becoming Who You Are will appeal to seekers from all sorts of backgrounds, even those who may not know much about the saints, including Catholic readers; people interested in saints; and those interested in spirituality, prayer and personal growth. This book would be perfect for Catholic high school and university students, not only because it addresses the central issue of adolescence (Who am I meant to be? What am I supposed to do with my life?), but also because it is firmly grounded in Catholic thought, is written in a popular style, and provides the reader with an introduction to some of the great Catholics of our time. +

Photo by Thomas Merton “Indeed there is a special irony about solitude in community: that if you are called to solitude by God, even if you live in a community your solitude will be inescapable. Even if you are surrounded by the comfort and the assistance of others, the bonds that unite you with them on a trivial level break one by one so that you are no longer supported by them, that is, no longer sustained by the instinctive, automatic mechanisms of collective life. Their words, their enthusiasms become meaningless. Yet you do not despise them, or reject them. You try to find if there is not still some way to comprehend them and live by them. And you find that words have no value in such a situation. The only thing that can help you is the deep, wordless communion of genuine love.” - from the essay, “Philosophy of Solitude”, Disputed Questions, p. 205
