A Year with Thomas Merton: Daily Meditations from His Journals

God gives Himself to those who give themselves to Him. The way does not matter much, as long as it is the way He has chosen for us.
Thomas Merton • A Year with Thomas Merton: Daily Meditations from His Journals
When your tongue is silent, you can rest in the silence of the forest. When your imagination is silent, the forest speaks to you. It tells you of its unreality and of the Reality of God. But when your mind is silent, then the forest suddenly becomes magnificently real and blazes transparently with the Reality of God.
