| Introduction | Welcome. Why me, and why this blog? About 15 years ago, a life crisis drove me into study of the contemplative life, a la Thomas Merton and Meister Eckhart. Since then, I've become an associate at an Episcopal monastery, while embracing ideas from many faith traditions. This blog aims to start a dialogue along those lines. |
