lostness and wonder

"In the cold days of Advent I recapture the lostness and wonder of the first days when I came here twenty-three years ago, abandoned to God, with everything left behind."--Thomas Merton, December 1, 1964




we must leave behind all things,
to embrace the one
that wraps around all things
with beauty, bursting
softly whispering
only love
