Author

This book is a unique and dynamic collection of Merton's writings on nature, arranged for reflection and meditation. The Trappist monk and activist remains an inspiration in many ways, far after he died in 1968.

Merton delves into the divine and its connection to the natural world. These reflections are poetic, revealing, and deeply moving.
