Spisovatelka Sophfronia Scott na sv\u00fdch cest\u00e1ch prom\u00fd\u0161l\u00ed spisy trapistick\u00e9ho mnicha Thomase Mertona (1915\u20131968) . V dne\u0161n\u00edm textu uva\u017euje o tom, co se m\u016f\u017eeme nau\u010dit z Mertonova hlubok\u00e9ho spojen\u00ed s Bohem prost\u0159ednictv\u00edm p\u0159\u00edrody:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Merton na\u0161el pod v\u011btvemi strom\u016f, na v\u00fd\u0161in\u00e1ch kopc\u016f, v cel\u00e9 p\u0159\u00edrod\u011b kolem sebe pocit p\u0159esahu sv\u00fdch smysl\u016f (transcendence).. J\u00e1 to ch\u00e1pu jako . . . uv\u011bdom\u011bn\u00ed si a mo\u017en\u00e1 jak\u00e9si jemn\u00e9 dolad\u011bn\u00ed skute\u010dnosti. Nejsem si jist\u00e1, zda existuj\u00ed pro to, co se sna\u017e\u00edm popsat spr\u00e1vn\u00e1 slova. Mo\u017en\u00e1 jako jako naprost\u00e1 jednota s cel\u00fdm stvo\u0159en\u00edm. Od sv\u00e9ho k\u0159tu v roce 2011 v episkop\u00e1ln\u00ed c\u00edrkvi jsem \u010dasto p\u0159em\u00fd\u0161lela o jednot\u011b a o tom, co znamen\u00e1 pat\u0159it Kristu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jak n\u00e1m p\u0159\u00edroda m\u016f\u017ee pomoci k p\u011bstov\u00e1n\u00ed pov\u011bdom\u00ed o Bohu? Jak m\u016f\u017eeme vstoupit do prostoru \u00facty, kde nejsou \u017e\u00e1dn\u00e9 zdi a \u017e\u00e1dn\u00e9 stropy, a p\u0159esto tam najdeme m\u00edstnost, kde jsme spole\u010dn\u011b s Duchem Stvo\u0159itelem? Merton o tom tak\u00e9 uva\u017eoval, kdy\u017e se jednou proch\u00e1zel lesem: „Myslel jsem na to, jak poznat a jak pou\u017e\u00edvat<\/em> prostor spolu s oblohou a svobodn\u00fdmi lesy.“ [1] [2]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vzhledem k jeho \u00favah\u00e1m a pak ke zp\u016fsobu jak \u017eil a psal po sv\u00e9m z\u00e1\u017eitku v p\u0159\u00edrod\u011b, si mysl\u00edm, \u017ee odpov\u011b\u010f na ot\u00e1zku na\u0161\u00ed obrody do t\u0159\u00ed \u010d\u00e1st\u00ed. Za\u010dal t\u00edm, \u017ee ka\u017ed\u00fd den chodil ven a kr\u00e1\u010del po zemi s posv\u00e1tnou \u00factou. To znamen\u00e1 uctiv\u011b. Otev\u0159el se v\u0161em pozitivn\u00edm pocit\u016fm p\u0159i ch\u016fzi po zemi a prostoru kolem sebe. Merton \u010dasto chodil bos\u00fd. L\u00e9pe tak dok\u00e1zal ocenit spojen\u00ed se zem\u00ed. V druh\u00e9 \u010d\u00e1sti p\u0159ij\u00edmal a vn\u00edmal po\u010das\u00ed.
