Indeed, in your sight, a thousand years are like a single day, like yesterday—already past—like an hour in the night. Psalms 90: 1-5 Mountains

Forest I consider Your heavens, the moons, and the stars. Each the work of Your thought and touch. I bless you. You are mindful of men, women, and children. A universe forever in Your care. You made each in the presence of angels, And crowned each with glory and honor. You made us to care for the works of your hands. Each flock and herd, the birds in the sky, And the fish in the seas. All that swim or walk in the paths of seas And lands You share with us and creation. Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name In all the earths and heavens! Psalm 8: 3-9

Wilderness and Being Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger, Or discipline me in Your wrath. Have mercy on me, Lord, for I have sinned. Heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony. My soul is in deep anguish. How long, Lord, how long? Turn, Lord, and deliver me. Save me with Your unfailing love. Among the dead, no one proclaims Your name. Who praises You from the grave? I am worn out from my groaning. All night long, I flood my bed with weeping. Psalm 6:1-5 Click Here Let every creature bless the Lord (Daniel, 3) Let the earth bless the Lord.

Home Thomas Merton, OCSO (Trappist) Thomas Merton, OCSO (1915 – 1968), was an American Trappist monk, priest, writer, theologian, mystic, poet, social activist, and scholar of comparative religion. In 1941, he entered the Trappist Abbey of Gethsemani and was ordained to the priesthood in 1949. Merton was a member of the Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani convent near Bardstown, Kentucky, living there from 1941 until his death in 1968. Merton wrote more than 50 books in 27 years, mostly on spirituality, social justice, and quiet pacifism, as well as scores of essays and reviews. Among his most enduring works is his bestselling autobiography , T he Seven Storey Mountain (1948). Merton's account of his spiritual journey inspired scores of World War II veterans, students, and teenagers to explore monasteries' offerings across the US. T he Seven Storey Mountain is on National Review's list of the 100 best nonfiction books of the century. Merton became a keen proponent of interfaith understanding, exploring Eastern religions through his study of mystic practice. His interfaith conversation, which preserved Protestant and Catholic theological positions, helped build mutual respect via their shared experiences during heightened hostility. Merrton is known for pioneering dialogue with prominent Asian spiritual figures, including the Dalai Lama, Japanese writer D. T. Suzuki, Thai Buddhist monk Buddhadasa, and Vietnamese monk Thich Nhat Hanh. He traveled extensively to meet with them and attend international conferences on religion. In addition, he wrote books on Zen Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism and how Christianity is related to them. This was highly unusual in the United States, particularly within the religious orders.
