Words to ponder by Thomas Merton in the book No man is an Island.
Found on Kelley's blog www.mamamonk.blogspot.com
"I consider that the spiritual life is the life of man's real self,
the life of that interior self whose flame is so often allowed
to be smothered under the ashes of anxiety and futile concern.
We cannot find ourselves within ourselves, but only in others,
yet at the same time before we can go out to others we must first
find ourselves. We must forget ourselves in order to become
truly conscious of who we are."
