Zora

My first poem on /zora. Read and mint Invocation below!

I thought this a fitting one for my first blockchain poem. An invocation is the ancient practice of calling the muses for aid in creative work.

It’s a response to writer’s block—and an understanding that creative expression involves not just “you” but other forces.

Probably the most famous example is Homer’s opening to The Odyssey:

“Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story”

I'm going to keep adding to your stash... not only because I think retro-tipping is important, but also because I think your writing deserves so much more attention and appreciation. 

Algorithms aren't going to recognize its real value and reward you for it, of course, so that task falls to us humans.

You are too kind, Danica, thank you! 💜

Retro-tipping your writing once again.

7000 $DEGEN

Returning with 3000 $DEGEN today, as I mentioned in a separate cast. 

(No need to thank me; this is me thanking you for the value you already delivered but which has not flowed back to you in appropriate measure, due to the dominance of extractive systems).

I can't wait until we can mint entire book chapters onchain! This is wonderful, saving to reread and ponder on it later.

Great title and imagery. I also like how you put the word "you" in quotes in your intro. 🤔 🧠
