My essay on Tibetan bardo/COVID-19/Japanese "ma" in Kyoto Journal

I'm delighted to have an essay, "In the Cave," in Kyoto Journal 98! This beautiful issue focuses on the Japanese concept of "ma": empty space with creative potential. I wrote about the connection between the Tibetan idea of "bardo" (the interval between death and rebirth, as well as any period when our ordinary reality is suspended), COVID-19, and ma: "The epidemic interval we're experiencing is an in-between like ma, like bardo...space charged with possibility." The issue is available through the Kyoto Journal website: https://bit.ly/32oiEYO
