Thomas Merton ~ His Life and Works

[lookingland]

Merton seems even more relevent today as a herald of the needs of our society ~ his message continues to be profound.



I am against war, against violence, against violent revolution,
for peaceful settlement of differences,
for nonviolent but nevertheless radical changes.
Change is needed,
and violence will not really change anything:
at most it will only transfer power
from one set of bull-headed authorities to another.

~ Thomas Merton ~
