Listener Comments
  • Eva 2/12/07: "Thanks so much for the program about Thomas Merton with Parker Palmer. It is shows like this that made people arrange their days around her program time slot. To hear about the world is grand but not at the exclusion of our own happenings and people, not movie stars and superstars, not nit picking politicians or another struggling single mom but the ones that make us think deeper in order to understand and have the patients for the rest."
