Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth. But I'll tell you what hermits realize. If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you'll come to understand that you're connected with everything. No valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now. I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is. Zen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes. Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command. You and I are all as much continuous with the physical universe as a wave is continuous with the ocean. But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be. But my dear man, reality is only a Rorschach ink-blot, you know.
