In the waning light of the Buck Moon, let us read and reflect together on Thomas Merton’s moment of enlightenment at the corner of Fourth and Walnut (from Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander). What is a Fourth and Walnut of yours? (You may have many.) What might it mean to experience such a moment in the early 2020s rather than the late 1950s? How are we meant to carry these moments beyond their immediate happening?

I can testify that Liz is one of the great letter-writers in American life. Merton would be happily envious of her deep spiritual practice.
