About meZenistentialist here. Not much to say. I've learned that "now" is o.k..... Just "be." I occasionally find retreating into Zenistential Exile for weekends of mental, Psychological, and Spiritual exercise is necessary.

"Zenistentialism?" A term I coined; could be an involved conversation but an easy definition would be to take the most simple explanations of Existentialism, and Zen, and synthesize some fundamental compatible components / concepts within these philosophies. They have more in common than one would think.

Pre selecting related reading material, turning off all modern technological electronic instruments (or at least as many as humanly possible) and "getting to know myself" through intensive time spans of uninterrupted reading, writing, reflection, and contemplation, does wonders for strengthening and validating my trek on the road less traveled. I think Thoreau would concur.

About my libraryIt's definitely a medley: Literature, History, Philosophy, fiction and non-fiction. Wacky contradictions. Oh well. Nietzche said, "So what if I contradict myself."
