I'm writing to you after exploring the contents of your library
and reading your homepage.
I joined librarything only a few days ago.
We share at least 6 books; I only have 200 of our ~ 4,000 catalogued so far.
I looked for Zen's Core: Ikkyu's Freedom in your library, but did not find it.
We have a copy of it, from a friend who is a Zen monk, Honshin (Nicholas Kirsten).
He has an art studio in Sedona, Arizona,
and his father spends six months of every year, at a monastery, in Japan.
My husband's name is Zeera (Zee) Charnoe.
He is also a member of librarything (id: ZeeCharnoe).
I include the link for Zee's FREE website,
because I think there may be writings there you would like to read.
http://ecophysics.org
The Structure and The Dynamics of Oneness.
This website contains FREE writings, artwork and four books.
We also have a Sunday afternoon webcast: ANACLYSM radio program
at www.blogtalkradio.com (nothing to sell)
Zee and I live a quiet existence, surrounded by books and plants.
We seek to find others of like mind,
to have discussion / e-mail exchanges
about the shared books (writings) that we have read
and to offer Zee's writings as additional materials to discuss.
Thank you for your attention.
Kind regards,

Your library makes me very thirsty. I appreciate being able to browse it.
