Today Oct 11 is the 94th birthday of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, who has returned to Vietnam to spend his remaining years. Remembering our first meeting when I was 17, with gratitude for the privilege of editing his essential writings. @OrbisBooks

I first heard of him in a book by Thomas Merton.

One of my favorite spiritual writers. Maybe because October 11 is a special day! This day 39 years ago, my bride, Karen, and I were married at regular 12 Noon Mass as members of Woodstock St. Paul Community, a Jesuit inspired lay Catholic group at Columbia University back then.

A friend walked with him in Glasgow & the traffic stopped. She returned with his “I have arrived, I am home. In the here, In the now. I am solid, I am free. In the ultimate I dwell.”
