Mithra underlined this quote from Thomas Merton in his book “Thoughts In Solitude,”  and read it to me as we walked in the Blue Star garden.

“Living Is Not Thinking. Thought is formed and guided by objective reality outside of us. Living is the constant adjustment of thought to life and life to thought in such a way as we are always growing, always experiencing new things in the old and old things in the new. Thus life is always new.”
