New seeds of contemplation

Book • 1999
This book is a revised and expanded version of Merton's earlier work 'Seeds of Contemplation'.

It consists of thirty-nine short 'seeds' intended to nurture a deeply contemplative and mystical dimension in our lives.

Merton defines contemplation as 'life itself, fully awake, fully active, fully aware that it is alive,' emphasizing the importance of spiritual wonder and awareness of the reality of the Source.

The book covers various subjects, including faith, the night of the senses, and renunciation, and invites readers to engage in a conscious and loving contact with God.
