    Grateful for this deeply reflective guest essay of The Divine Mind

    Posted on October 2, 2025December 6, 2025

    Grateful for this deeply reflective guest essay of The Divine Mind by long-time writing colleague, Bryce Tolpen. In this review, Tolpen weaves excerpts from my book with his own monk yearnings and teaching memories. Check out his brilliant writing at Political Devotions.
