A ten day silent meditation course, applied for on impulse, waitlisted, then accepted a week before it began. Tien writes that account with the nerves left in, and it is the most alive thing on the blog.
The backbone is a chapter by chapter walk through a famous book on desire, faith, imagination, decision, persistence and the subconscious. She reads it seriously, one part at a time, and treats it as material to work rather than a classic to admire.
Between those come recipes, and they are real ones. A marinade for lamb ribs handed down from a school friend, with the quantities. Stir fried noodles for somebody cooking alone who wants something quick.
There are grammar posts too, on the difference between your and you're, written by someone who plainly winces at the mistake.
News commentary appears on the cost of a phone measured in factory conditions, and on what you actually own when you buy digital content.
Read the meditation post first, then take the book series in order.
