Knowing you as I do…I love your short stories, I can read them twice, breathe a sigh of gratitude knowing & loving you. Then…continue to scurry as you know me.
In the fall, I read Merton's nature journal (I'd call it that) When The Trees Say Nothing, and then did my own version through some traveling days in Costa Rica. It was good reading and writing, restorative.
These are times that needs such books and word and connection, yes.
Alison, ever since I moved south of the Mason Dixon line, I've dreamt about doing a retreat at Merton's monastery in Kentucky. I haven't read his work in decades but remember how it changed me. When the Trees Say Nothing-- what a title. Anything about trees is a win in my book. I will look for it.
Maureen, that makes sense. He apparently divides his time between America and Japan, where his wife lives. One of his books is A Beginner's Guide to Japan and another mentions Kathmandu. I better stop watching TV and start reading at night instead.

Aww, BA, thank you. You are indeed, the queen of the scurry.
I read all your recommendations, so this author will be the next on the list. Thank you.
Carolyn, thank you. I forget how comforting mysticism can be. Pico Iyer reminds me. I'll be curious to see what you think of his work.

Such a calming read. Peace--
Pico Iyer has always had a big profile in Asia...big support from expats .

Love your recommendation
Can’t wait to look it up.
Bill, you must let me know what you think.
