Saving this to come back and read later! I’ve been trying to find books on Christian mysticism/practical mysticism or spiritual practices (currently reading about the Jesuit tradition) and I’m so excited to read your thoughts and glean some new resources/insights. Haven’t read Merton but I love Henri Nouwen, who mentions him a lot, and so I keep meaning to start Seven Storey Mountain. Anyways—I’ll probably loop back around to this after I have time for a proper read, but this piece (and your whole Substack honestly) looks wonderful.
Great stuff, Carolyn. Honored to have my work mentioned and considered here, especially among such illustrious company.
