September 27th, 20219/27/2021  Thomas Merton: "This is my place and yet I have never felt so strongly that I have 'no place' as I have felt here since becoming fully reconciled to this as 'my place.'

Anyone else feeling these blahs? or rather isn't everyone feeling some of this? But, the one permanence in our lives is impermanence, so we know that this too shall pass.
