A short summary of Thoughts in Solitude:
Thomas's thoughts on philosophy, current culture, and God were discovered during his time in the desert.
My favorite Thomas Merton quote from the book:
"...man knows when he has found his vocation when he stops thinking about how to live and begins to live."
Questions to ponder while reading Thomas Merton:
Do books speak to you?
Do you enjoy silence?
My review of Thoughts in Solitude:
A perfect book found at the perfect time.
Deep thoughts said quietly.
I may be planning a desert pilgrimage now...
