With 10 days gone and 3 weeks to go, my Kickstarter for the poetry book is over 1/3 funded! Please do pass this word to any poetry lovers you know. Hoping to get it funded by early December, with book on Amazon in time for Christmas presents.

Am delighted to say that after 4 days I'm almost 1/3 of the way to the Kickstarter target! is amazing - Thank you to all of my friends ... Now I'm wondering if there really are enough people to get the project to the goal - is a bit scary ... who actually wants a book of poems about love and sex (nothing R-rated)??

Love you if this speaks to you.

In the US, Daylight Savings Time ended today.

I got up at 8:15 as usual, groping around, a half hour later sitting with my coffee found it wasn't even 8am yet.

@Pat thank you - indeed, i hunted that specific shot of the trees, the thumbnail YouTube chose wasn't that. I love that specific shot. Thank you for the tip.

I finally pulled the trigger! Kickstarter for a book of poems! Kickstarter & book both bilingual, English and Spanish.

¡Por fin apreté el gatillo! ¡Kickstarter para un libro de poemas!
Kickstarter y libro ambos bilingües, inglés y español.

@OnNegation My pleasure :), thank you for the leads. I joined qoto because I thought the interesting discussions and leads could be here :). So far, am correct :))

Another one is out! :) I really like the way René Schröder is doing this.
Animated version (more fun) is on linkedin:

just watching this and thinking what a beautiful metaphor of life: when you get into those trees, you can't be answering questions about "How's it going?"

@OnNegation "nervous system is not necessary for an organism to have cognition" - I thought i had read all of Maturana and Varela (I got to spend an evening in Maturana's house in 2019 and took a 3-day class from him, both wonderful experiences) - and don't recall seeing this, so thank you again for another lead :)

Rereading Borges. The impossibility of describing an impossibly different experience

Friends been chasing me around for at least 15 yrs to get this poetry book out. Finally running on it. Kickstarter built, waiting for approval. I'm more nervous about this than my first tech book.
