Perusing the archives at The a Thomas Merton Center with @patshen for my forthcoming film, Day Of A Stranger. Navigating letters with Ethel Kennedy, DT Suzuki, Abraham Heschel, Rachel Carson, Dorothy Day, Coretta Scott King, Dan Berrigan, and more. Filming his original camera, some books, and the jean jacket. #thomasmerton #DayofaStranger

“We have not come here to take prisoners But to surrender ever more deeply To freedom and joy. We have not come into this exquisite world to hold ourselves hostage from love. Run my dear, From anything That may not strengthen Your precious budding wings, Run like hell, my dear, From anyone likely to put a sharp knife Into the sacred, tender vision Of your beautiful heart.” Hafiz/Hafez (1350-1390)

“Touch and the world of touch bring us out of the anonymity of distance into the intimacy of belonging. Humans use their hands to touch—to explore, to trace, and to feel the world outside of them. Hands are beautiful. Kant said that the hand is the visible expression of the mind. With your hands, you reach out to touch the world. In human touch, hands find the hands, face, or body of the Other. Touch brings presence home... The energy, warmth, and invitation of touch come ultimately from the divine…” John O’Donohue, Anam Cara

“The mountains are calling & I must go & I will work on while I can, studying incessantly.” John Muir to his sister, Sarah, 1873

“I think my work has to do with a sense that we are attempting, all the time, to create a logical, rational path through the day. To the left and right there are an amazing set of distractions that we usually can’t afford to follow. But the poet is willing to stop anywhere.” Billy Collins
