    I always love Thomas Merton. My father told me once that he visited the monastery in Kentucky where he lived and loved that book The Seven Storey Mountain. I read it as well but was more wowed by how he died. That's how weird I am --

    I love that he was once a communist and also a convert. I also love that he was able to marry East and West so readily in his personal spirituality, something that very few Catholic monks or priests I have known were able to do. His words make a great deal of sense to me and his involvement in politics and his compassion for the world, even in his isolation, make me respect him a great deal. The circumstances of his death were very odd.
