The fourth volume of Thomas Merton's complete journals, one of his final literary legacies, springs from three hundred handwritten pages that capture - in candid, lively, deeply revealing passages -- the growing unrest of the 1960s, which Merton witnessed within himself as plainly as in the changing culture around him.

In these decisive years, 1960-1963, Merton, now in his late forties and frequently working in a new hermitage at the Abbey of Gethsemani, finds himself struggling between his longing for a private, spiritual life and the irresistible pull of social concerns. Precisely when he longs for more solitude, and convinces himself he could not cut back on his writing, Merton begins asking complex questions about the contemporary culture (the 'world' with its funny pants, of which I do not know the name, its sandals and sunglasses), war, and the churches role in society.

Thus despite his resistance, he is drawn into the world where his celebrity and growing concerns for social issues fuel his writings on civil rights, nonviolence, and pacifism and lead him into conflict with those who urge him to leave the moral issues to bishops and theologians.

This pivotal volume in the Merton journals reveals a man at the height of a brilliant writing career, marking the fourteenth anniversary of his priesthood but yearning still for the key to true happiness and grace. Here, in his most private diaries, Merton is as intellectually curious, critical, and insightful as in his best-known public writings while he documents his movement from the cloister toward the world, from Novice Master to hermit, from ironic critic to joyous witness to the mystery of God's plan.

Thomas Merton (1915-1968) was a Trappist monk, writer and peace activist. His spiritual classics include New Seeds of Contemplation, The Sign of Jonas, Mystics and Zen Masters and The Seven Story Mountain

Fits my TERYX 4s perfectly.
I lost a front hub cap on my last ride and decided to try these. They are 4 for the price of an oem one. Looks a little different than the original but close enough. I have been in a few rides and haven’t lost it which is great.

Worked like a charm
As others have commented.... these do in fact fit on the Brute Force 750 wheels but stick out 1/4" further than OEM Brute Force center caps. Since there are so many more Brute Force 750's than Teryx 1000's I'm wondering why this company doesn't mold the replacement Brute Force 750 caps. I'm using these on my rear wheels and I'm happy to not be paying Kawasaki's outrageous price for a poorly designed center cap.

They match the OEM ones!
They are just as good as the OEM caps and fit perfectly. I found if you put a small piece of rubber with adhesive on 3 of the tabs they hold better. I did it on all of them including the oem.
