A Thomas Merton Reflection - Christian mystic, monk, poet, writer

[Guest guest]

In Louisville, on a corner of Fourth and Walnut, in the center of the

shopping district, I was suddenly overwhelmed with the realization

that I loved all these people, that they were mine and I was theirs,

that we could not be alien to one another even though we were total

strangers...I have the immense joy of being human, a member of a race

in which God himself became incarnate. As if the sorrows and

stupidities of the human condition could overwhelm me, now that I

realize what we all are. If only Everybody could realize this! But it

cannot be explained. There is not way of telling people that they are

all walking around Shining like the Sun!

Dhyana:

Thank you for sharing Merton with us. I have been wanting to read him for a

long time - you are inspiring me to do just that. I appreciate the quotes. He

offers some practical advise for all of us.

I know how he feels!

I often get the urge to kiss and hug EVERYONE I

see......LOL

People I know around Chengdu know that to see me is to

be smothered in affection and I can't seem to help

myself, I just feel so much love for all the people I

see or meet.

And I feel their love for me also, I think underneath

it all humans are good and loving.

 

Hugs dhyana, thanks for sharing.
