Description
New Seeds of Contemplation is one of the most read and beloved books by Thomas Merton. Both Christians and non-Christians praise Merton as a remarkable successor to the meditative tradition of St. John of the Cross, The Cloud of Unknowing, and medieval mystics; in the United States, Merton is often compared to Thoreau. New Seeds of Contemplation seeks to awaken the sleeping inner depths of the spirit that Western man has long suppressed, striving for a deeply contemplative and mystical dimension in our lives. For Merton, "every moment and every event of a person's life on earth plants something in their soul. Just as the wind carries thousands of winged seeds, so each moment carries the seeds of spiritual vitality that quietly rest in the mind and will of a person. Most of these countless seeds perish and are lost because people are unwilling to accept them: seeds like these can only sprout in the soil of freedom, spontaneity, and love."
