"Thoughts in Solitude"


 

Some thoughts and words are wisest when drawn from the well by one who knows the Source, possibly best of all. I share the following thoughts from Thomas Merton, which were shared with me. Sending you peace, blessings and joy for today and everyday.

"The trees indeed love You without knowing You. The tiger lilies and corn flowers are there proclaiming that they love You, without being aware of Your presence. The beautiful dark clouds ride slowly across the sky musing on You like children who do not know what they are dreaming of, as they play.  But in the midst of them all, I know You, and I know of Your presence."
 

Thomas Merton
