Thomas Merton

Last night for spirituality night, we read a few Thomas Merton letters and discussed them. We let the conversation lead itself where it wanted. Sometimes to seriousness; sometimes to utter silence; sometimes to humor. Discussing God is profoundly different here with these ladies. I like that we do it, but I sense a bit of uneasiness or tension grappling with the subject. I hope this year and our exposure to God in one another is good for all of us.
