Rain and the Rhinoceros | O dežju in nosorogu

Author: Thomas Merton Publisher: Sanje Language: Slovenian, English Translation: Ana Jelnikar

The essay "The Murmuring Rumour of the Rain" is a soul-energising drop in the vast oeuvre of a connoisseur and a seeker, a monk and an eremite, a world-renowned writer and a social activist. A timeless meditation on solitude, which invites reflection on how to remain human in the midst of a maddening crowd, this is the opening text of the book collection Cancer the Solitary Man, which awakens from sleep forgotten, untranslated or unpublished texts, obscure for our times.

    Let me tell you something before rain becomes a commodity to be planned and shared for money. I am referring to people who do not understand that rain is a holiday, who do not appreciate its gift, who think that what has no price has no value, that what is not sold is not worthwhile, and that something only really becomes something when it is on the market. The time will come when they will sell you the whole rain. It is free now, and I am in it. I celebrate its gift and its absurdity.

    Thomas Merton
