Thoughts in Solitude is a book of meditations, thoughtful and eloquent, as timely (or timeless) now as when it was originally published. In his preface, Thomas Merton described it with characteristic modesty and precision: "These pages were written... at times when the author, by the grace of God and the favor of his Superiors, was able to enjoy special opportunities for solitude and meditation... This does not imply that the notes are subjective or autobiographical. They are in no way intended as an account of spiritual adventures. As far as the writer is concerned, there was no adventure to write about, and if there had been, it would not have been confided to paper in any case. These are simply thoughts on the contemplative life, fundamental intuitions which seemed, at the time, to have a basic importance."
