From the Desk of Mr. Merton
March 20, 2005 – 8:45 pm
Learn how to meditate on paper. Drawing and writing are forms of meditation. Learn how to contemplate works of art. Learn how to pray in the streets or in the country. Know how to meditate not only when you have a book in your hand but when you are waiting for a bus or riding in a train. Above all, enter into the Church’s liturgy and make the liturgical cycle part of your life– let its rhythm work its way into your body and soul.

Does your brother tell you all the time that he has a friend at school that reminds him of you? Because all the time he tells me that he has a brother that I remind him of (you).
Anyway, yes. About the last post -
Rock on.
