Okay, here I go again

Well, I have tried to read Thomas Merton's book The Inner Experience over the past year. I read a chapter, put it down for a while, and then go back and re-read that chapter again. It is a really deep book and I have pretty much put it on the back burner for the past several months. So, I have decided to start again and make a serious effort to read it through on a consistent basis over the next month. Maybe if I dedicate time to it alone I can better understand some of the extremely deep concepts that Merton covers in this book. God help my understanding of what this spiritual master is trying to convey.
