Dialogues with Silence: Prayers & Drawings by Thomas Merton

3.0

I just love how Merton is constantly bogged down by his material desires in his heartfelt and intense quest for god. He seems like a pretty self aware person who prides his writing but is constantly reminding himself to not be prideful and live for his God.

I'm agnostic but I could relate with his constant inner turmoil and startling honesty with which he writes. Some of it was kinda boring to me (maybe because I don't really care for traditional Christian sermon style idk what you call them) but he was indeed a skilful writer. Hope he found what he wanted in life.
