Is it possible to choose the world amidst the noise and confusion of daily life? How can we find God in these times of great uncertainty and fear? Thomas Merton's reflections are deeply infused with the urgency of these questions. His words are marked by razor-sharp sincerity, balanced by the vastness of his heart. Merton's radiant wisdom serves as a beacon for those of us seeking true meaning and comfort for a life in today's world. Contemplation, as his message conveys, is possible for each of us, here and now, in our everyday lives: then wisdom begins to sing its endless, sunny, indescribable song in the deep silence: the secret song that speaks only to the lonely soul. It is their very own song, the unique, irreplaceable song.
