Hi tabitha.
I'm pretty much like you about not having a daily sitting routine but I still consider myself ZEN. ZEN is not supposed to be complicated, it is exactly the opposite. Don't try, just do it. What I mean, is that I also read many books (none that you mentioned) and gradually I just feel I became ZEN by understanding the concept of ZEN. I don't sit in meditation as a rule, I meditate while driving, working, cleaning, etc...and I also learned to be a witness of my life. So maybe the official ZEN people might say I'm not really ZEN, but the Catholics would say I'm not really Catholic, the Buddhists would say I'm not completely Buddhists and the Wiccans would say I'm not a real witch. I am that I am.
