No Man Is an Island by Thomas Merton

inspiring slow-paced

4.0

Thomas Merton’s writing speaks deeply to my soul. His book The New Seeds of Contemplation is one of my all-time favorites and his writings on the relation of Christianity and other faiths, such as his book on Chang-Tsu, are eye opening. This one is great, of course, but I kind of got bogged down after a while. I liked the first half more than the second. Maybe it’s me. Maybe he just got repetitive. Either way, spending the last month reading a few pages each morning offered plenty of food for my heart and mind.
