Nature was always vital in Thomas Merton's life, from the long
hours he spent as a child watching his father paint landscapes in
the fresh air, to his final years of solitude in the hermitage at
Our Lady of Gethsemani, where he contemplated and wrote about the
beauty of his surroundings. Throughout his life, Merton's study of
the natural world shaped his spirituality in profound ways, and he
was one of the first writers to raise concern about ecological
issues that have become critical in recent years. In The
Environmental Vision of Thomas Merton, author Monica Weis suggests
that Merton's interest in nature, which developed significantly
during his years at the Abbey of Gethsemani, laid the foundation
for his growing environmental consciousness. Tracing Merton's
awareness of the natural world from his childhood to the final
years of his life, Weis explores his deepening sense of place and
desire for solitude, his love and responsibility for all living
things, and his evolving ecological awareness.
