A Momentary Essay hinting at love and a time of collective reasoning in prose.
This post appeared originally on October 15, 2021 in three parts because the word count is somewhere around 20,000 words and Facebook wouldn’t let me put it all into one post so hence; three parts.
I am open to at some point releasing it in a paperback form for those that like the work and who would also like to have that tangible real world connection to prose and possibly read off-line in the woods or library or what not.
Also, the release of such a large work being presented AS A FACEBOOK POST was also sort of a reaction to and a personal rebellion in the face of the idea of the number of political leaders who have released books as of late (many while in office which…) which somewhat address certain issues they feel strong about and I just figure if the work is so important to public health or public policy, then, just release it as a post on social media.
You don’t have to sell the word to get the word out anymore.
Even though I understand the desire to have tangible books that aren’t electronic but I’ll just assume my point was made because it is a soft point even though it is sincere.
Like: LET’S NOT PROFIT SO MUCH OFF PUBLIC HEALTH?
Or: PERHAPS WE CAN WORK TOGETHER BETTER WHICH MIGHT LOWER PROFITS IN SOME REGIONS. (?)
Anyhow, I send a smile! S M I L E
