In Praise Of: Essays

In this curation, we're spotlighting the essay! 

Essays can offer us exposure to experiences, and perspectives, and essays can be informative or intimate, so reading an essay can feel as if we're at a sharing, or in a conversation with some one we may not get to meet in reality. The essay, after all, is best for you if you'd like to read despite a busy schedule; it's easily finished when you're commuting, in the half an hour before you turn in.
