Thomas Merton

 

     As I bike along I have been reading some of the writings of Thomas Merton.  As I was playing with Rusty and waiting for my bike to be fixed I pondered this passage from Ascent to Truth

            …Love enters the darkness and lays hands upon what is its own!  Love astounds the intellect with vivid reports of a transcendent Actuality which minds can only know, on earth, by a confession of ignorance.  And so, when the mind admits that God is too great for our knowledge, love replies, ‘I know Him!’
