"Purple Lake"
by Richard Krausview biography"By reading the scriptures I am so renewed that all nature seems renewed around me and with me. The sky seems to be a pure, a cooler blue, the trees a deeper green. The whole world is charged with the glory of God and I feel fire and music under my feet."
Thomas Merton (aka 'Father Louis'), (1915-1968) Trappist monk of the Abbey of Gethsemani, Kentucky; poet, social activist and student of comparative religion.
