Thomas Merton is one of my Christian “heroes”. An artist and writer, an intellectual and activist, a tortured soul full of mystifying, beautiful chaos. A teacher, monk, friend to many, and a man way ahead of his time. And, to my delight, a fellow Enneagram 4! His Christian faith was enriched through many conversations with many others equally unique but very different from him. I dare say we too would benefit from such diverse interactions.

Enjoy these thoughts I stole from a similar spiritual savant (and fellow Canadian) I admire, Justin Coutts over at his website: www.newedenministry.com.
