This article was pointed my way by tyrel_roo, and it made me spend my entire lunch break reading it. *This* is a lot better than The End of Faith, in my opinion, and I think Harris might be stumbling on to the form that "atheism" needs to take if it's ever going to gain traction in the public discourse. Also, the props to the meditative/contemplative experience makes me slightly biased in its favor.

After the really groovy day yesterday, I'm experiencing almost an exact opposite; a general malaise and dissatisfaction with my day, no matter what I'm doing. I'm feeling kind of run down, under the weather, so I think it's something that a good night's sleep or even a few hours of quiet rest will cure. These finicky moods are a part of the package as well, I guess. You can't be enlightened all the time. ;D
