Stunning piece! The concept of le point vierge as embodied in the redwoods is something I never connected before, but it makes total sense when thinking about how those ancient groves create a kind of cathedral silence. I hiked through Huboldt Redwoods last summer and dunno if it was the scale or the stillness, but that same wordless pull definitely lingered weeks after leaving.
Thanks for the comment. Only recently did I encounter the notion of le point vierge and how the redwoods occupy that place inside and outside the soul. Merton, you, and I -- and I suspect thousands more -- understand that sense of awe among the big trees. Spread the word.
Such peace in these trees. Thank you for bringing this to us/me today. Lovely!
Many thanks, Melissa.
