New
Seeds of Contemplation
is
one of Thomas Merton's most widely read and best-loved books.
Christians and non-Christians alike have joined in praising it as a
notable successor in the meditative tradition of St. John of the
Cross,The
Cloud of Unknowing,
and the medieval mystics, while others have compared Merton's
reflections with those of Thoreau. New
Seeds of Contemplation
seeks
to awaken the dormant inner depths of the spirit so long neglected by
Western man, to nurture a deeply contemplative and mystical dimension
in our lives. For Merton, "Every moment and every event of every
man's life on earth plants something in his soul. For just as the
wind carries thousands of winged seeds, so each moment brings with it
germs of spiritual vitality that come to rest imperceptibly in the
minds and wills of men. Most of these unnumbered seeds perish and are
lost, because men are not prepared to receive them: for such seeds as
these cannot spring up anywhere except in the soil of freedom,
spontaneity and love."
