Meditation is a wonderful mind-cleaner . . . Such windshield wipers abound. Faith traditions offer more varieties than a well-stocked auto supply store. Give your problem to God in prayer. Repeat your mantra. Turn to scripture for answers. Chant and sing. Bare your soul in confession. Honor the sabbath. In such ways we wipe away some of the muck which besets even the best-lived life.
