Merton - Dark Dreary

"Last night it snowed again and there is a fairly thick blanket of snow
on the ground and on the trees. The sky looks like lead and seems to
promise more. It is about dark as my own mind. I see nothing, I
understand nothing. I am sorry for complaining and making a
disturbance. All I want is to please God and to do His will."

(THE SIGN OF JONAS, page 27 ... Merton wrote this on the first
Saturday
in Lent of 1947.)

What is all I want?
