A Celebration of Thomas Merton's Louisville Epiphany

In Louisville, at the corner of Fourth and Walnut,
in the center of the shopping district,
I was suddenly overwhelmed with the realization
that I loved all those people,
that they were mine and I theirs,
that we could not be alien to one another
even though we were total strangers ...
There is no way of telling people that they are all
walking around shining like the sun.

Thomas Merton, Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander

I know almost nothing about Thomas Merton so that quote and the information from the press release below is all the information I have to share but I must tell you that I find that quite inspirational and will be looking into Thomas Merton right away.
