Shared Node: Key to Me

by Robert James Koyich

A node is a point of reference to one’s core being. Shared Node is a rhyming stream of consciousness, guided and inspired by many nodes in the author’s life including people and places. Though written sometimes with specific people in mind, this book can be more broadly interpreted as a deep exploration of relationships with and between oneself, spirit, the universe, and other beings. Apart from nodes, the author’s concept of the Contialis expands the definition of our universe. The Glossary captures a corresponding extension of the English language to incorporate these new ideas and describe this book’s particular style of rhyme: flowetics.

Periodically, the author addresses the reader directly, sparking introspective reflection and engagement. At once this book is a collection of love poems and prayers to God and the universe for peace, love, unity, and respect within oneself, between lovers, and for all of humanity. It is written for recreational reading and dedicated to dreamers, lovers of poetry and creative thought, and all who are committed to realizing their goals, hopes, visions, and dreams through the process of life. We realize our goals, hopes, visions, and dreams through the process of life.

About the author

I started writing because of a famous singer, Natalie Imbruglia. I wanted to meet her, so I started writing the book Finding Natalie.

That first book, Finding Natalie, in 2013-2016 led us to be, now, 22 individual books and seven three-part books into The Fountains Series.

After every three individual Fountain books, I compile a trinal (three-part) volume. The first three Fountains are bundled into the book Fragments of Intent, the leading book in the series. The next three-parter is The Sands of Yesterday. After, came Shards of My Soul, Mosaic of Miracles, and The Waters of Life, with Winds of Change and The Sacred Spirit out too.

The individual books give 100% of their earnings to various charities, yet the three-part books generate 51% of their royalties for different causes. My author earnings are from 49% of The Fountains' three-part books, plus 100% of my other publications like Shared Node and My Bag of Trips.

If you have Kindle Unlimited, all The main Fountain books are in the program. Please find them online, plus check Audible too. Fragments was live in 2022, with The Sands of Yesterday in Q3 2023.
