About my libraryI have many books about Henry David Thoreau, and books about Concord, Massachusetts. I am interested in the transcendentalists of the 1840's. I have many books published in the 1800's in these topics.
I have many books related to bird watching: also bird art,
biographies including various naturalists & bird watchers.
I am gradually reading American Literature, fiction starting with Hawthorne. I have many books about holistic health care and holistic healing.

you take a shower or a bath, I suggest you hold your big toes in
mindfulness. We pay attention to everything except our toes. When
we hold our toes in mindfulness and smile at them, we will find that
our bodies have been very kind to us. We know that any cell in our
toes can turn cancerous, but our toes have been behaving very well,
avoiding that kind of problem. Yet, we have not been nice to them
at all. These kinds of practices can bring us happiness.

You have a very nice collection of books about Thoreau. I'm doing a little research on Thoreau, Emmerson and transendentalism in general. It is very funny because I was reading the book on Thoreau and it had a chapter on Emmerson. That chapter said that Emmerson was influenced by Thomas Carlyle. So I dug out my college lit books and tried to read Carlyle. I must have read it in college because there were notes written in the margins and lines highlighted. I don't remember reading it. And it must not have made much of an impression on me back then. It is still difficult reading and I gave up and switched to my American lit book and began reading Emmerson's "Nature". Much easier to understand. But I'm back to reading the book on Thoreau and enjoying it very much. I switch between it and the book of Thoreau's journal entries. It is interesting to see the progression of his thoughts. Eventually I will read "Walden" which I have never read either. You are very lucky to live so close to Concord. I was in that area in 1985 but not there long enough to find all the literary places of interest. Maybe I will get back there again someday.
