I am retired now, a full-time writer. I still actively do retreats. I love the works of Thomas Merton and my new book, "Spiritual Journaling -God's Whispers in Daily Living" is available on Kindle and Amazon. http://amzn.to/qQz6Ng
Thomas Merton was born in France 90 years ago today. Take time to send an email to a friend who does not know it is Merton's birthday. This is a day of blessing and thanksgiving.

Together In Spirit, Best Wishes for Thomas Merton's 90th Birthday - January 31, 2005 - Retrospective...
"The perfect illumination is, then, the illumination of Love shining by itself. To become completely transparent and allow Love to shine by itself is the maturity of the "New Man." -- from "Rebirth and the New Man in Christianity"
Remembering Thomas Merton's (Father Louis's) "illumination" just around the corner from the old Saint Louis Cathedral in Louisville, Kentucky...

Thomas Merton Birthday Wish - (Rebirth and the New Man in Christianity)
Light, Love, Life,

I do a newsletter for a group I am a part of. The theme of this month's newsletter was, of course, love! I found this quote:
"Love seeks one thing only: the good of the one loved.
It leaves all the other secondary effects to take care of themselves.Love, therefore, is its own reward."
Thomas Merton
I thought of you and prayed for Janet!
Happy Birthday to Merton! I don't know much about him, but have enjoyed learning what I do know.
Happy Birthday, Louie! We love you always!
happy birthday thomas!
Happy belated birthday big Tom! Pray for us! Perhaps like you Dan, this man now in that other dimension, has had a greater effect on me than any other "teacher" I've had on earth. God has used him in a great way to filter truths through to many of us, and still is.
Peace and Grace to you. Hope your wife is doing OK.
