What you describe here resonates. I do consider myself a 'seeker' and I know exactly what you mean about a book speaking to you so directly - when it happens, you know. I really believe one is led to books as well. This was especially and eerily true when I worked at the library and the right book would literally appear. My little office is as cherished as your shed - I can't wait to get in and feel very cheated when I miss my "time." Thanks for this interesting and introspective take - write on!
Interesting to hear your response, after listening to the author's interview with Terry Gross on the radio. I'm not familiar with Iyer, but was intrigued by his comments about silence and spirituality and nature.
You might enjoy Miriam Greenspan's Healing through the Dark Emotions it's a very interesting read. Not woowoo - intellectual Buddhist/Jewish/psychological take.
