Deep Dark Mist: Collected Poems, Musings and Sketches

By Bob McAuliffe

In 1973, I unwittingly fell into an adventure.

I discovered an old-looking book with a burlap binding. It was Thomas Merton's Seeds of Contemplation. Merton was a Trappist monk who studied "Eastern Mysticism", meditation, and collaborated with Zen Buddhist monks on the spiritual path of meditation.

Intrigued and eager, I started meditating. That was the moment I started a life-long adventure - I now know it is an adventure into awareness. I discovered a presence, and my own heart became aware of what it means to be human.

These poems and musings, and later the sketches, are the product of both my meditations and glimpses of heightened awareness of reality around me.
