Thanks for your feedback

Seriously, thanks for your feedback.

I am so grateful to you, that I googled a thank you poem for form submission, picked one, and pasted it here. Especially for you. Not anyone else.

It Doesn’t Seem Enough

By Joanna Fuchs

I want to tell you "Thank you,"
But it doesn’t seem enough.
Words don’t seem sufficient–
"Blah, blah" and all that stuff.

Please know I have deep feelings About your generous act. I really appreciate you; You’re special, and that’s a fact!

Would you be serious?

Well, it's a fair question. Perhaps I should, but I'm not sure it supports the experiments I'm doing. If you've read a few pages, you'll likely realise by now that seriousness has its own physicality, and that light-heartedness[1] has a different physicality.

Specifically, serious (at least in the context of such a request) carries a weight, a requirement to behave and look appropriate(-ly). It's outside-in. By contrast, the physicality of light-heartedness is revealed in its very name: it's light, it emanates from the heart (it's inside-out). It is opening, and therefore inviting a Buber-like[2] encounter.

Light-hearted wins every time. After which – no matter serious or playful – we all die anyway.
