For sometime I was the sole clerk on that shift and a friendship developed, especially since he and I loved to read. He introduced me to Merton via a copy of "The Palace of Nowhere". We talked and talked. I learned that both had a Christian background, but both had left such upbringing. Now, feeling a pull to return to their original faith, he nonetheless had a "fear" of leaving behind much he had read along the way within the beliefs of oriental religions. He seemed shocked to hear me ask him who had told him he would have to abandon it all. That link on my sidebar to "Whiskey River" takes you to a site where you can find daily quotes from many sources.
