Synopsis

From my home in San Juan, a lovely sector of central Tibas, situated just north of San Jose, Costa Rica, while the candle flickers I commence the writing of these varied glimpses. Warning! What you are about to read are personal memoirs! They are much to do about "self.' They amount to a large group of random thoughts, sporadic observations. I always feel I am somehow supposed to write my thoughts down - what a big ego I must have - because (I like to think that) if you put them all together, they form a loose-knit way of seeing the world. They are a part of my worldview. Everyone has one of these - what's your view of the world look like? I am going to be a world philosopher when I grow up, you see. That is what my intention is, since I have always been preoccupied with how to see things, how to process things. How odd is life anyway. That's why my interest in philosophy - to figure out the oddness of life. Normally, I think philosophy can be pretty dry and boring. But, for me, it's terribly exciting. ...In this book, what you are about to delve into will resemble the form of an ongoing story. It will consist of a sequence of six weeks of shadows and lights (i.e. days and nights). After that time, wherever I am at with it, I will stop, and simply and abruptly start to write another book about something else I know not what.Here though, I will (I suspect) be sharing with you a series of ideas, dreams, fears, logical thoughts, illogical thoughts, wonderings, wanderings and general psychobabble. I say that because I intend to impart thoughts and ideas about whatever might be in my ongoing existence in being. This could be anything, I assure you...as of course it could be for anyone. Exactly what will appear in the pages that represent the next six weeks of my life, I do not have any idea - that, for me, is going to be much of the fun of writing it!

About this title

About the Author:

Michael Jean Nystrom-Schut has been writing/publishing for many years, but trying to figure out the meaning to life's deepest questions for much longer than that. With several decades of experience in education, business and real-life circumstances behind him, the questions, in his mind, still far outweigh the answers.Michael has spent many years piecing together a worldview that is effective and reasonable. Failing to find this from the religious and cultural communities, he set out on an eclectic path of personal enlightenment. Philosophy of everyday life is important for everyone. Michael understands that, and has actively written books in an effort to create a pattern of anthological thought that will provide his readers with all of what they need to encounter life in a successful way. Michael divides his time between homes in the United States and the rain forests of Central America. His quest to leave a comprehensive written legacy of life, is by his own admission, and endless one.
