The Reflective Life

Friday, December 09, 2005

Today I want to share some thoughts from Thomas Merton:

Every moment and every event of every man's life on
earth plants something in his soul. For just as the wind
carries thousands of invisible and visible winged seeds, so
the stream of time brings with it germs of spiritual vitality
that come to rest imperceptibly in the minds and wills
of men. Most of these unnumbered seeds perish and are
lost, because men are not prepared to receive them.
