Feedback
Bill Crotty from the St. Louis area called to ask where I did my research for THE FERRY TO AMERICA. Dr. Hal Sadin called from Washington. Mr. Sadin in the story is based on Hal. He said he didn't mind that his character wasn't called Doctor, but he hated the idea that he never got any sex. Great feedback from readers.

A word from Thomas Merton
Thanks to son Kevin, a word from Thomas Merton.
"The ultimate perfection of the contemplative life is not a heaven of separate individuals, each one viewing his own private intuition of God; it is a sea of love which flows through the One Body of all the elect, all the angels and saints, and their contemplation would be incomplete if it were not shared, or if it were shared with fewer souls, or with spirits capable of less vision and less joy."
I'm reminded that I've failed to write my Cistercian friend, Padre Lorenzo. I had wanted to discuss Cluny, France with him, but now it's too late. Lent is upon us. I'll have to wait for Easter when he will be able to receive mail again.
No word about RAIN IN THE AFTERNOON yet. It's like waiting for a baby to arrive!
