Exceptional reading. Contemplative prayer..well worth the read ... this is Finley's share his life and times with Father Louis, OCSO as a novice at Gethsemene Abbey....Merton is very special to me...having over the years - spent time reading his canon of works...having taken the opportunity a couple years ago to go on retreat at the Abbey and a personal tour of Merton's hermitage brought this together...in the refectory we listened to Finley Beijing read on tape...Merton's place of nowhere.....
