Thomas Merton

Be still
Listen to the stones of the wall
Be silent, they try
To speak your
Name.
Listen
To the living walls.
Who are you?
Who
Are you? Whose
Silence are you?


During my time at college I went through a bit of a religious turmoil, ending up with me very happily embracing agnosticism and then comfortable indifference. This poem by the wonderful Thomas Merton just popped into my head when I saw this pic.
