part 1/2

What are /lit/'s thoughts of Thomas Merton? His Christian work and his work in the east.

Montaigne, Nietzsche, Dosty...

The most recent That Ive connected to the most though is Thomas Merton, I was reading one of his books and had a weird mystical calmness that came over me as i was doing so for like 2 minutes, he really opened me up to religion in a lot of ways that I haven't been before.

I actually asked him to be in one of my dreams once (i know its absurd) and i ended up having a dream about going to rome to find the church and there was a circular fountain of wine and water. And a priest at the end of it threw lizards on to lifeless machines. I also had sex with a prostitute, that's the first time I've ever gotten laid in a dream and it was awesome.
