Week Forty-six Nugget-Persevere


From Thomas Merton's "The Inner Experience"

Now man with all his faculties and also with his soul recollects himself and enters into the temple (his inner self) in which, in all truth, he finds God dwelling and at work. Man then comes to experience God not after the fashion of the senses and of reason, or like something that one understands or reads...but he tastes Him, and enjoys Him like something that springs up from the ground of the soul as from a fountain, without having been brought there, for a fountain is better than a cistern, the water of cisterns gets stale and evaporates, but the spring flows, bursts out, swells: it is true, not borrowed. It is sweet.
