Not all styles of writing speak to all people.  Long before the teaching arts made use of the essay or of the research paper, narratives of various kinds were the most proficient means of transmitting knowledge and of inspiring reflection.  Dialogs were most often used. With two other types of writing more akin to the modern pedagogy found on this site, these Exchanges are offered here to fill the void some may feel in reading something so dry and so empty of the emotions that are central to the human experience of practicing the Way.

For the most part, the Exchanges are works of fiction.  However, each one has their roots in an actual human-to-human interaction.  Fictional license is used solely to make the key discussion points more relative to a larger audience.
