	Celtic Monasticism as a Metaphor for Thomas Merton's Journey.

	The Contemplative as Teacher: Learning from Thomas Merton. (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Merton was a teacher for most of his adult life, starting when he was a masters student at Columbia University in the fall of 1938 and including all but his first formative years as a monk of Gethsemani.
		In fostering it, Merton provides a striking and instructive contrast to the all-too-familiar approach in which learning is construed as a matter of acquisition, of absorption, control, and manipulation of information by a detached and unreflective individual, or as a purely cerebral act.
		Merton wrote in discussing Faulkner's work of the potential of creative writing as a "privileged area for wisdom in the modern world." In its greatest expression, through a kind of existential or spiritual symbolism, literature can create an experience in which our whole selves are implicated and affected.
