TL[c] from Merton |
Thanks for your nice letter. You want "any information whatsoever" to help the sixth grade |
✓ |
sending a book about Gethsemani / monks seek God in the "lonely places" - "people think they are crazy going off by themselves" / not having to worry about paying taxes, maintaining a house and car, fighting with a spouse / creatures of the forest around the hermitage / God's presence in the silence of the hermitage
