First drafts of both essays appeared in recent weeks as blog entries. The first piece, How I Meditate, engendered controversy I found unsettling enough, I went on and wrote the second, more complex and ambitious piece--sort of like the grain of sand between the oyster's valves that becomes the pearl, if you want to look at it that way.

The first piece is little changed since it appeared as a blog entry. I've re-worked Why I Meditate quite a bit. I like to think it's a smoother, more focused read because of my revision.
