SynopsisTrappis monk Thomas Merton wrestles with what it means to be a contemplative person in the 20th century. In the midst of American consumerism's choke-hold on the lives of ordinary people, how can one maintain a contemplative life? Further, how can the contemplative life be prophetic for this generation? Just a sampling of themes explored in Merton's 1967 retreat in Kentucky., In the late sixties Thomas Merton invited a group of contemplative women to join him in dialogue at the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky. This book contains the transcripts of those conversations. Merton's thoughts are presented on the practice of contemplative prayer, monastic renewal, and "Zen, a Way of Living Life Directly."
