  8. Since this is National Poetry month, I went to your link to read some of his poems. Here is a sample of one verse of "Solitude"—nice


    Dead kings are said to have trodden this path
    Leading to the stone bench where we like to sit,
    While over the solitude falls the peace of evening
    And our hearts, like psalm-books, are full of mute songs.

  11. He must have gotten tired of New York. The name is vaguely familiar but I don't recall reading his work. I do like the house!

    Re your question: Of course you can "meditate" with an iPad. You just close your eyes, the iPad drops to the floor, and you wake up an hour later with a cat sitting on it! :)
