Status Updates From No Man Is an Island

2 things :
1. It’s so annoying when the prologue isn’t counted in the page numbers bc wdym I read 20 pages and got sent back to page 3
2. I like Merton’s writing style (in theology) way better than Lewis but boy he writes some mouthful sentences. I gotta read this one so slow

“The silence of the sky remains when the plane has gone.” This book spoke so thoroughly to me. I underlined more than I left as it was. If someone were to ask me what single Merton book I would recommend, it is this one (though I have a huge stack to get to so this statement might change!)

“As a man is, so he prays. We make ourselves what we are by the way we address God. The man who never prays is one who has tried to run away from himself because he has run away from God. But unreal though he be, he is more real than the man who prays to God with a false and lying heart.”
