Seven Storey Mountain: Epilogue
“In one sense we are always travelling, and travelling as if we did not know where we are going.
In another sense we have already arrived.
We cannot arrive at the perfect possession of God in this life, and that is why we are travelling and in darkness. But we already possess Him by grace, and therefore in that sense we have arrived and are dwelling in light.
But oh! How far have I to go to find You in Whom I have already arrived!”
- Thomas Merton, The Seven Storey Mountain
