on the dharma shelf | fall 2018 + winter 2019

When you want to read all the things and your already-ambitious stack gets usurped by new curiosities of spirit and other compelling works (because you actually read the endnotes and footnotes, which only multiplies your booklist)!

These books have been #OnTheDharmaShelf since the Fall — some deep dives, slowed by copious note-taking; some skimmed-through or skipped-over chapters to circle back through; some completely on pause til my brain has space to digest all these meaty perspectives.
