“And now, as if in response to some unseen voice, the bleebles first expanded and then sang as one, like the gossamer dewdrop at the top of a monkey.” Beautiful. ❤️
The revival of Stoic literature, Machiavellian principles, human psychology, while all great disciplines to study, Thomas Merton took the study of self and God to a higher peak.
Thanks for this. I whetted my apetite by listening and I've now discovered thay the printed book has longer sections missing in this audio. Merton was a good writer and I'm enjoying the book.
Yes, the audio version is abridged. I should have specified in the description. Glad it inspired you to read the print version. I agree, it is much better!
A real treat. I first READ it so long ago that it was all new to me. I have considered Thomas Merton my spiritual brother since my first read. Thanks.
Likewise. So grateful for men like Thomas. I wish I still had the book so I'm grateful for this. God bless!

What a beautiful story. I’m reading Seeds of Contemplation right now so it’s nice to know about the person who wrote it.
Thank You so much for this... 🌹🌌
Thank you 🙏 wonderfully read

Uniquely powerful...really different from his later works
Short read for a big book. At least it's not a robot...thanks
Great book 📖
Thank you
thank you and read easy to listen too. but you should not label it full audiobook as many many and some important paragraphs are edited out. thanks
Thanks for this.
This is abridged. Still thanks!
Thank you
Thank you for letting me know! I’ll look for the unabridged version. I thought it was short
🕊🌎🕊🕊sharing🫂thankYOU
I don’t think it was all that good I mean we’re is the good part
"We're is?" What does that mean?
@@yretsymsdees1092smart arse
I didn’t have the heart to let him know 😂
@@yretsymsdees1092I doubt Merton would have responded like that… clearly he meant where is the good part.
It’s not that good
I'm sure that if Thomas Merton were alive today, he would appreciate your thoughtful critique :)
