Editors' Notes

First efforts. First issue. We hope you enjoy it and find something useful. Our most difficult task so far has been choosing a name. We started with Inquiring Mind and went from there through The Changing Times, This Time Around, Insight Out, The Dukkha Express, et al. We finally came back to Inquiring Mind, realizing that the name was seeking itself. . . .

We plan to publish one more issue this year, in the fall. . . . Inquiring Mind has only just begun to inquire.
