[New-Poetry] Philosopher/philosophy poems

[Anny Ballardini]

They are two different institutions, I realize it now. The Merton Institute
regularly sends out mails with Thomas Merton's thoughts, comments, and
selections, that I sometimes post to my blog, and updates in general.
I would like to be a psychic... It takes much more concentration than what I
usually have. But I did want to contribute to your work, also because I find
your selections excellent.

Do post the Merton poem, thanks.
