“Not all persons are called to be hermits, but all persons need enough silence and solitude in their lives to enable the deep inner voice of their own true self to be heard at least occasionally…For one cannot go on happily for long unless one is in contact with the springs of spiritual life which are hidden in the depths of one’s own true soul.” Thomas Merton |
Hello to you, I can relate to this Merton poem. Nice to "meet" you - are you ready for another CO winter? Snow already in Breckenridge. I like these tiny harebells - saw some last week on a hike, but I bet they're gone now.
