Merton on Solitude

Join me in contemplating one of many pieces on solitude by Thomas Merton:
"I ought to know, by now, that God uses everything that happens as a means to lead me into solitude.  Every creature that enters my life, every instant of my days, will be designed to wound me with the realization of the world's insufficiency, until I become so detached that I will be able to find God alone in everything.  Only then will all things bring me joy."
type to you later.
