Hi Henry, thoroughly enjoying second act. More than once, i've been reminded of the sensory order by Hayek - and in both books i love the attempt to describe living nodes and relations visually - the reflection of individual/group or part/whole is fascinating, as well as the various influences on development. very interesting for art, and so many other puzzles!

And your book talks about perspective - the changing of which helps you to see the different patterns occurring at different levels, revitalising and recontextualising our experiences and thoughts. Like any trip, It's one the those indirect solutions where you never quite know the result in advance, only that the universe will be invited in and its going to be good (so long as you jump far enough from the ledge!)

Thanks for all the research and writing - I hope you've got some more ideas lined up for the future.

I bought the book and am devouring it. At 65 I decided to take up jazz piano, and I’m returning to painting. I retired at 55, took two years to write a book in my field published at age 57, then served with several nonprofits. As soon as a friend retires, we are co-authoring a book about her father, a Holocaust survivor. I’m looking forward to reading the suggested books. Thank you for a wonderful Substack!!
