Blogs

I am grateful to all of those whose writings so benefited me. I followed the footsteps of the first three on a daily basis, both reading them ahead and also re-reading sections afterwards to savour the experience. 
I commend the writing of the fourth and especially the piece "Bare on Night Mountain" which describes a salutatory lesson. It merits "read, mark, learn and inwardly digest".
