There are people who stay with one book, they buy the same brand over and over. They have found what works for them and they stick with it. Then there are the experimenters who try a new journal each time, the explorers always on the look out for something different, the librarians who have a couple of books going at a time. The Adjustable Bandolier is for them. You can fit a variety of sizes, or strap a couple books together.

We’re quite different but we still sleep together
No matter the setting, all these people are doing the same thing: just closing their eyes and letting themselves disappear.
Beautiful piece on one of the few things that unites us all.

How to Build an Owl
- Decide you must.
- Develop deep respect
for feather, bone, claw.- Place your trembling thumb
where the heart will be:
for one hundred hours watch
so you will know
where to put the first feather.- Stay awake forever.
When the bird takes shape
gently pry open its beak
and whisper into it: mouse.- Let it go.
So beautiful.

Text lasts. It’s not platform-dependant, you don’t just get it from one source, read it in one place, understand it in one way. It is not dependent on technology: it is what we make technology out of.

enough — Available Today!
I’m pleased to announce the launch of my new book, enough. It is available starting today in Paperback, ePub, and Kindle format. (iBooks coming soon, Apple willing. ePub works great on iPad though) This series of original essays help to answer the question, “What is enough?”. Enough is a very personal metric. Like our center of gravity, each of us must find what is enough by swaying from less to more until a comfortable medium is found. The goal, then, is not to find what is, or will be, enough forever. That is impossible. The goal is to discover the tools and strategies you need to find what is enough for you right now and provide the flexibility to adjust as the conditions change. The essays in this book explore many of the methods, practice, and strategies needed to meet this goal and discover what enough means to you. This book represents years worth of work exploring this topic and writing the book. For those not in the know, that the first draft of this book was written entirely on iOS. So, to some, that may serve as invitation alone to purchase a copy and check out just what is capable on a post-PC device. I know you will enjoy it and walk away the better for it.
I should also mention that, in celebration of the new release, the price of my first book, Keeping It Straight, has dropped for a limited time. If you have not read it yet I would be humbled if you bought both.
Finally, a heartfelt thanks to Randy, Penny, and Aaron at my publisher, First Today Press, for once again taking my words and turning into something worth reading. If you have a book in you I can think of no better group of people to help you get it out.
