Either today or tomorrow we will pass the milestone of 47,000 visits to this poetry blog. If you think the growth is accelerating, you're right, it is. I have fans of my poetry, fans of naturism, fans of photography, and--big surprise--fans of my Udugi language.

My poetry means a great deal to me, but in a certain way the Udugi language means even more. If I leave any enduring legacy when I go, I think Udugi will be that legacy. There has always been great poetry, and naturism already has a long and inspiring history. There have been wonderful photographers, still my idols to this day, but no one else, to my knowledge, has rescued at least part of an indigenous language facing eventual extinction. The "rescue," of course, is still only potential, and will require adoption and use. In the meantime, I'll be using it and loving it, and I hope others will as well.

Here in Uruguay we're about a month into spring, Stormy and rainy days alternate with sunny and glorious ones. Wherever you are, I hope your days are filled with love and peace.

Thank you for your interest in and support of this blog.
