December 10, 1968 — Thomas #Merton — #monk, #poet, #priest, #activist — died in Thailand while attending a conference of #Christian and #Buddhist monks. Merton lived at The Abbey of Our Lady of #Gethsemani near Bardstown, #Kentucky.
Imagine cold winter nights out in that knobby landscape and the sight of the milky way poured across a cobalt sky.
Requiescat in pace.
