"Not finished yet, so can't say 5 stars, but it's on it's way! A couple favorite passages:
(From Thomas Merton's forward) "The compulsion to cure is like action without a deep and silent center. We want to overcome problems and adversities and want to change at all costs. An alternative is to care for ourselves, each other, and our world. We wouldn't need change and cure if we were in a constant caring mode."
From the first section "Somewhere we know that without a lonely place our lives are in danger. Somewhere we know that without silence words lose their meaning, that without listening speaking no longer heals, that without distance closeness cannot cure. Somewhere we know that without a lonely place our actions quickly become empty gestures."
Both relate to each other more than I initially noticed (until typing this). Yay for more enlightenment!"
"A short book, but thought-provoking. It's three meditations that were originally given as sermons. They are short and simple, but at the same time profound. I re-read two of them as soon as I had finished, so as to take them in better.
The first one talks about the need for withdrawing to be alone with God; the second about the need for care - for empathy, and suffering alongside people - in a society that's more concerned with cure. The third is about living in expectation of better things, and is the one I found least powerful.
I read one meditation per day for three days, and will no doubt return to this book again in the future. Definitely recommended. Four and a half stars really."
