My friend and colleage, the Rogue Scholar, has posted an excellent follow-up on the subject of
rei 礼. She looks at an vital aspect of it that I had not really touched on, the aspect of
rei as a means of self-restraint. Her essay is well worth the time to read, and can be found at http://roguescholar-nyc.blogspot.com/2015/02/more-on-rei.html Please take a look and let me know what you think.
