      ab: This paper examines Thomas Merton's deepening relationship with nature and its crucial role in his spiritual journey as a Trappist monk. It posits that Merton's interaction with the natural world, significantly influenced by Christian mysticism and Eastern spirituality, was central to his mystical development. Highlighting key phases in Merton's life, the paper shows how his engagement with nature went beyond mere observation, serving as a catalyst for contemplative practices and non-dual insights. Merton's experiences offer a compelling model for how our own spiritual connection with the natural world can be nurtured and deepened, providing a unique lens for personal spiritual exploration.
