Last week, Amber and I were each trying to compile a list of five books that have changed our lives, and after a long think on it I realized Merton's "New Seeds of Contemplation" had to be on my list. Very powerful stuff. I really should read more by him soon.
Of course, if I'm honest with myself, "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition Player's Handbook" would also be on my list...
When i look at this picture of Merton, I see your dad.
Weirdly enough, he does bare an uncanny resemblance to my father.
I like that quote. The reminder is welcome.
