Just finished reporter Seth Harp's new The Fort Bragg Cartel. It is terrifying and shocking and worth your time and attention. Has anyone read it yet?

Spring greetings from the wilds of Western North Carolina! I still have yet to tire of this view . . .

Good wishes to all my Christians friends celebrating Holy Week. I remember it being such a meaningful (and exhausting!) time. Hydrate. Pace yourself. You should be practicing the exsultet right now—if you aren't already. And, as always, here now, still the best Holy Week tweet of all time:

Good afternoon

Finally finished with some writing about my experience sitting in sesshin during Hurricane Helene and the aftermath. If you'd like to receive it, DM me your email and I'll add you to the list.

Rohatsu '24! What an astounding week! Still have no words to express how wonderful/difficult these are. I will share that one evening during yaza (solitary zazen at night) I found myself barefoot, in my robes, trapsing through the moonlit woods in 20 degree weather.

Hiya! I'm in Rohatsu until 12/14. See you on the far side!

Happy Thanksgiving y'all!
