'Tis the season to begin thinking of New Year's Resolutions, well, soon it will be.
I'm unaware of when this was written, as Thomas Merton died in 1968, but these words of wisdom continue to resonate today:
From Come Into the Silence by Thomas Merton:
If I were to make any resolutions, it would be
the same old ones--
no need to make them--it doesn't take much concentration
to see how I keep them. I struggle along.
It's useless to break your head over the same
old details week after week
and year after year, pruning the same ten
twigs off the top of the tree.
Get at the root . . .
