		<title>Brothers in Faith and Coffee</title>
		<description><![CDATA[More editing. I am on the final round of editing, currently working on chapter two and came across this passage, which I think is a bit of a gem, at least to me. The cool mornings were warmed with the taste of sweet, strong, rich coffee. This time six years ago I was in Thailand. [...]

		<title>Meditating in the Extreme Heat of Nakhon Pathom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am almost done editing chapter one and came across this small passage about meditating in the scorching sunshine. I can remember it like it was yesterday, even though it has been nearly six years.
We meditated there under a blanket of heat, the air thick with moisture and heavy like wet gauze. The sun drilled [...]

		<title>The Cutting Room Floor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am now in the process of editing the book. The bulk of the writing is done. In fact, I&#8217;d say all the primary material is there and what I am doing now is changing some phrasing and making lots of cuts. This is a tough process and has to be goal-driven, with the ultimate [...]

		<title>Back to Writing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes it seems like I have stopped writing because I have not made substantial progress on this book. The truth is that I work as a writer and thus have not stopped writing but have simply temporarily switched projects. For the last many months I have been spending more time on the work I do [...]

		<title>Back up and Running</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I fixed the problem with the images on the site, as you can see, since now they are visible. That&#8217;s always the best situation &#8211; when things look and work the way they are supposed to. Now the trick is to get the writing done. I am currently editing the chapter on Udon Thani, at [...]

		<title>Yeah, it does look different</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just moved this site to a new server because my old hosting company seemed to have more downtime than uptime and now my regular theme is broken. It&#8217;s a mystery to me because I am using the same theme on a different site with no problem. Anyway, I hope to have that fixed before [...]

		<title>The Surprise of Redemption in Chiang Mai</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chiang Mai is a beautiful, filthy place. Everywhere you look you see lush greenery, and in the distance one direction are mountains and in the other are the long plains that stretch down toward Bangkok. The beauty is almost hidden, however, by a cloud of smog that blankets the city and settles on every surface [...]

		<title>Squat Toilets Along the Road Less Traveled</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine is a big hulk of a man, ex-soldier, ex-military police, currently a police officer in a nearby town. The man is a giant, big and strong as an ox, and one of the toughest-looking people I have known. However, one day when we were talking about traveling, he admitted to me [...]

		<title>Not Dying as a Buddhist Lesson at Khao Yai National Park</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got to visit Khao Yai National Park while in Thailand. This was on a side trip from Prachin Buri, where I was staying at a monastery with Phramaha Nattapong. We got a local man to drive us an hour or so to the park, where we encountered quite a high waterfall and I got [...]

		<title>Teaching Children in Prachin Buri</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been working in a soul-sucking job that has done a lot to impede my writing progress, so it&#8217;s been a while since I sat down to the computer and did any work on it. As of this past Friday, I have been free on that problem so likely you will see more posts [...]
