Thomas Merton Quote

I will no longer wound myself with the thoughts and questions that have surrounded me like thorns: that is a penance You do not ask of me.


The Sign of Jonas (1953)


I will no longer wound myself with the thoughts and questions that have surrounded me like thorns: that is a penance You do not ask of me.

I will no longer wound myself with the thoughts and questions that have surrounded me like thorns: that is a penance You do not ask of me.

I will no longer wound myself with the thoughts and questions that have surrounded me like thorns: that is a penance You do not ask of me.

I will no longer wound myself with the thoughts and questions that have surrounded me like thorns: that is a penance You do not ask of me.
