Great essay, David. I would only add (for those who become frustrated and for those who find meditation a chore) that from time-to-time, we all need refreshment and it is good to return to original sources. Many of Alan Watts' lectures are on the Internet and it is still possible to visit Jack Kornfield's meditation retreat center - although only via the Internet. https://www.spiritrock.org/jack-kornfield

Tai Chi and meditation are my ways of remaining sane.
