WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE OF HEAVENLINESS
+ Art enables us to
find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.
+ Merton
again! And why not. Anyone doing
spiritual exploration faithfully can benefit immensely from the wisdom and
inspiration and devotion of this great spiritual guide. He was one of the best writers of the
twentieth century. Millions of seekers
have been touched by his writings and the example of his life. It is fitting that the image of Merton here
which comes from Spirituality & Practice is an artistic portrait. Merton’s unique approach to a meaningful life
included a deep appreciation of art. He
encourages us to appreciate the artist and work on developing the gift of
artistic expression, a gift we all have whether we know it or not. That’s because we are all heavenly beings as
well as human beings. That heavenly
dimension is huge, infinite, eternal, mysterious, wonderful. Enjoy being human and enjoy being heavenly.
