Hey. I'm about to go off to Portland for the day, but before I go check out these quotes from New Seeds of Contemplation by Thomas Merton.
"These is actually no more dangerous solitude then that of the man who is lost in a crowd, who does not know he is alone, and who does not function as a person in a community either."
On God--> "He is at once infinite solitude (one nature) and perfect society (three persons)."
