Wandering around the Monserrat Monastery in Catalonia, Spain. Founded in the 11th century, this abby is known for their Black Madonna said to have been found in the 9th century, and then named the patron of Catalonia on September 11, 1881 to commemorate 1,000 years of the monastery’s existence. Also a Camino de Santiago stop! #BlackMadonna #Monserrat #Monastery

These past couple weeks I’ve gotten to sit in the chair next to my buddy and genius-guy, @patshen as we edited (and by we, I mean he) my directorial debut, Day of a Stranger. Yesterday we watched a rough cut of the culmination of two production trips to Thomas Merton’s hermitage, hundreds of hours of listening & contemplating, days of sitting with all the material we've gathered and researched, and what happens when two aligned artist work together side-by-side—challenging, questioning, and meditating on the words and place of Thomas Merton’s final years (1965-1968). After watching this near 30-minute piece of art, I turned to Patrick and simply said “I’m really proud.” Words I use sparsely and sparingly, but words I certainly mean. To make this film to be not about Thomas Merton, not about his specific hermitage, but the humanity and ground of being of each and every person was a tall, tall task. But. I think we are accomplishing that, I hope we are. And I hope everyone who will eventually see it can reflect on the infinite spaciousness of the hermitage within themselves.

"The poet has to be free from everyone else, and first of all from himself, because it is through this 'self' that he is captured by others." Thomas Merton
