Solitude and Thomas Merton

PROBLEMS PROBLEMS --- I WAS TRYING TO MAKE MY BLOG BETTER AND MESSED IT UP. I HAVE LOST ALL OF APRIL 2006 AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO UPDATE IT. NOT SURE WHAT IS THE MATTER. NOT EVEN SURE IF THIS WILL UPDATE. SORRY.


"Without a certain element of solitude there can be no compassion
because when a man is lost in the wheels of a social machine he is no
longer aware of human needs as a matter of personal responsibility."
(New Seeds of Contemplation p. 55)
