The Rev. Joey N. Welsh. December 17, 2006: Thomas Merton


Poets and Poetry for December, Part III: Thomas Merton

By The Rev. Joey N. Welsh

Often when I write about people I choose dates near their birthdays for my columns; today's column notes a death date. Thomas Merton was born on January 31, 1915 in Prades, France. His death anniversary was a week ago, the same day that marked the birth of Emily Dickinson. He died in Bangkok, Thailand on December 10, 1968, electrocuted as he touched a faulty electric fan after stepping out of his bath. These two dates are the bookends for the life of an individual, but between the dates came the bountiful spiritual journey of a man who was a Trappist monk, an acclaimed theologian, a contemplative, a best-selling author, a social activist, and a poet.>
