"The blessing of solitude under the tall pines, in the cool of early morning. The blessing of sawing wood, cutting grass, cleaning house, washing dishes. the blessing of a quiet, alert, concentrated, fully "present" meditation. The blessing of God's presence and guidance. I am very aware of the meaning of faith and fidelity, and of the implications of the relationship they establish. This place is marked with the blessed sign of my covenant with Him Who has redeemed me. May I never fail this goodness, this mercy!"
Thomas Merton
