busy imagine permit
A poem is a place where the conditions of beyondness and withinness are made palpable, where to imagine is to feel what it is to be.

business book needs
It's not about you, it's about the next person. The single best use of a business book is to help someone else.

A book is a souvenir and a container and a motivator and an easily leveraged tool. Hoarding books makes them worth less, not more. Seth Godin

If you're going to invest a valuable asset (like time), go ahead and make it productive. Use a postit or two, or some index cards or a highlighter.
