Seeds of Contemplation
By Thomas Merton
"Reading this, I discovered for the first time, that there was this whole interior world. There was the inner life of the soul—the soul being not just some immortal spirit, but instead what I think of as the holy repository of inner life, where we connect with what is the deepest thing in us, that divine spark in us. It was an enormous discovery—not just that we had this whole intimate relationship with the divine within, but that we could work with it and develop it."
