Dedication of Thomas Merton Bookshed Retreat



On Pentecost Sunday, 23May2010, The Thomas Merton Bookshed Retreat was dedicated.




We sign wall which will be shingled, obscuring our names
.


We leave prayers and thoughts in stones with silence.




We listen to words and music.




What is done here is itself...
A practice of contemplation, zen, and engaged service.







We honor Thomas Merton. And thank him.

Everything returns to Itself.





Embodying the dwelling place of the Alone;

Stepping aside to make room for Another
