It never occurred to me, though. Why would it? I’m not shy. Quite the opposite. I’ve traveled alone around the world and I’ve…

Here’s what it’s like to stay in a secluded meditation center for two weeks. — I’m at the gate, hugging Sayagyi A., one of the two nuns who run a meditation center on the outskirts of Yangon, Myanmar. She caresses the top of my head while I break into tears. The taxi driver pulls over. I try to let go but Sayagyi pulls me even…
