Thomas Merton

“Our real journey is interior.” Thomas Merton, a Trappist monk and author of “The Seven Storey Mountain”, was a pretty cool dude.

    And, should you ever visit the Abbey of Gethsemani, be sure not to leave without a couple of pounds of their excellent bourbon fudge.

    What a treat to see this report.
    Merton has been a huge influence in my life. I’m old enough  not to be able to remember when I started reading him; a constant companion on the road to Emmaus. 

    And bourbon fudge sounds so much better than fruit-cake.
