I do not wish to burden you with more of what you probably receive much of already but after visiting your web site (thank you for your great effort, it was a very welcome read at 3:00 am during this latest restless night) I have a question you might be able to help me with.

I do not consider myself a wanderer but for some time now (about 4 years) I've thought of myself as a traveler. The difference might be nonexistent or it may be one of degree. The similarities between my life and the lives of some who've visited your web site (and your life also) are noteworthy. Without going into specifics, in my life "something" seems to be "wrong". I can't describe it, except that it is a feeling of dread. I know that if something were truly wrong one of my teachers would visit me and explain and put my fears to rest so this feeling must be some emotional baggage that I'm being left to deal with on my own.

Is this common? Do one of the books you mention on your page discuss a similar issue? I'm a grad student and consecuently read several hundred pages a week, would you consider any of those books worthy to take the time with during my current hectic schedule? Undoubtedly I will someday read them all but seeing as my time is limited I also need to limit myself to the most useful ways. Thank you for your time.
