A review by ryberst
New Seeds of Contemplation by Thomas Merton

5.0

For me, very little, almost nothing, can be said about any of Merton's writings. It seems inappropriate for some reason, as if I am being presumptuous or overly cheeky. I will say that, for me, Merton ranks among the top writers/texts in my spiritual library, along with Khalil Gibran, the Tao Te Ching, and the Desert Fathers.I first read this book my first semester of college, and at that time and maturity level, understood so little of it. Reading it for a second time, at this point in my life, was so refreshing, so reflective, and reviving. A book I will hold close to my heart
