A quote from Thomas Merton to his good friend Ron Seitz ~
"Funny , but a long time ago, when I first came here to Gethsemani, I said that this place is the center of America . I had wondered then just what was holding the country together .... Really what was keeping the whole universe from cracking into pieces and falling apart. It is places like this monastery."
Merton than added, "I believed it then , and I believe it now ... Even moreso."
From a " Song for Nobody ", p. 75
