Merton in his journal for July 17,1956 talks about wanting to write about everything. The monk seemed to think that an apt analogy for living is writing a book. His thought was that if you live openly you are placing pages in the very special, very sacred book. If you have lived nothing then ultimately there is nothing in this book of life for you. Merton in concluding the entry states that he wants to write a book that contains a little of everything, a book that has its own life. My question; isn’t that what blogging is?
Before I forget, Happy Canada Day, eh?
