摘要
摘要:尽管去年暴雨摧毁了百慕大,淹没了佛罗里达州和卡罗来纳州的海岸,尽管南部和中西部持续发生洪水,尽管气候变化是造成这些自然灾害的原因,但雨水形式的水可以被视为一个值得庆祝的节日。托马斯·默顿(Thomas Merton)在其广为选集的文章《雨与犀牛》(Rain and the Rhinoceros)中,为我们提供了一个关于雨的沉思,以此隐喻我们理解孤独和沉思自然节奏的重要性。
Rain, Contemplation, and Social Responsibility: Merton’s Challenge to Us
Abstract:Despite the torrential rains that devastated Bermuda and deluged the coasts of Florida and the Carolinas last year, and despite the ongoing flooding in the South and Midwest, and despite the controversy over climate change as contributing to these natural disasters, water, in the form of rain, can be seen as a festival to be celebrated. In his widely anthologized essay, “Rain and the Rhinoceros,” Thomas Merton offers us a meditation on rain as a metaphor for understanding the importance of solitude and contemplation of the rhythms of Nature.
