Violence Of Over-Work

1 min read
I printed out Rev Thomas Merton's words and have stuck them near my desk now to ponder - these were brought back to our modern attention by Parker Palmer:



About Photo: Thomas Merton and the Dalai Lama met in Nov., 1968 in Dharamsala, India where the Dalai Lama was living in exile. They quickly recognized each other as “soul brothers” and doubtless would have continued to work together. But Merton died in Bangkok just one month later at age 53.
