If I have this divine
life in me, what do the accidents of pain and pleasure, hope and fear, joy and
sorrow matter to me? They are not my
life and they have little to do with it.
Why should I fear anything that cannot rob me of God, and why should I
desire anything that cannot give me possession of Him?
--Thomas Merton, New Seeds of Contemplation, ch.22
