About this ebook
While in the past it has been fun to experiment with my thought, and work to avoid certain aspects of sense, this book is more about nature, place values and the need to be unafraid of the beautiful and dangerous. The rhetorical situations I imagine in much of nature and my wanted avoidance of the supposed ease of imagery brought me to some landscaping, as well as a sense for the word in different, new, unique and distinct ways that need to be read and seen.
