New Seeds of Contemplation

Thomas Merton

A spiritual classic loved by both Christians and non-Christians, this book aims to unearth the mystical and contemplative elements often overlooked in Western culture. Author Thomas Merton shares reflections similar to those of Thoreau in a meditative style that resonates with readers of St. John of the Cross and other medieval mystics. The book delves into the idea that each moment and event in our lives plants seeds of spiritual vitality in our souls that we must be willing to receive, nurture and grow.

What a beautiful book. I'm not a devout Catholic but when you're raised in that tradition, its roots go deep. And I have a strange connection to Merton. I need to listen to this many more times to fully get it but for now, it was a break from the storm raging around me.      source
