Pardon all runners, All speechless, alien winds, All mad waters. Pardon their impulses, Their wild attitudes, Their young flights, their reticence. When a message has no clothes on How can it be spoken.
Thomas MertonGod Himself begins to live in me not only as my Creator but as my other and true self.
Thomas MertonStop asking yourself questions that have no meaning. Or if they have, you'll find out when you need to -- find out both the questions and the answers.
Thomas MertonIn our creation, God asked a question and in our truly living; God answers the question.
