Thoughts in Solitude

found in an old notebook. Love me some Merton.

Beautiful quote. I have a book with a year's worth of Merton quotes. Time to look it up again.

@eudora I heard a story that John Lewis was carrying a backpack containing a Merton book when he crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Expecting to be arrested, he wanted to have inspirational reading material with him, for the time in jail.

@margonaut I did not know that! Interesting how the people we admire often admire each other....
