I was contemplating about if i should rate this 3.5 or 4 as i am not a religious person myself and don't like religious yappings in general. But this genuinely comforted me in one way or another and i have to give to that. The writing is beautiful, yet sometimes confusing as i had to read a few sentences again to completely comprehend what Merton was trying to say.
In conclusion: this was an interesting view into someone's view of their faith and believes and that i did enjoy as a curious girlie myself
