If I owe you anything, my friend,
it is not money.
It is listening,
understanding,
and a helping
hand.
But most of all,
it is respect.

Staying Power
I was wondering what generalizations I could make about the blog posts that have received large numbers of visits over time. The best tool I have for this is the top-ten listing for the life of the blog (a little over two years). Here's the listing:
Prayer for the World 110 19 July 2017
Happy Birthday 97 5 Oct. 2016
Arcanum Zero, the Fool 94 30 Sept. 2017
Morning Sky, Aguas Dulces 88 28 May 2018
Gymniad XXIII - I Do My Best 87 4 Jan. 2018
gado-usdi aya asquadisdise 84 11 May 2018
Rumer 82 8 Oct. 2017
I Will Be Guided 80 13 Oct. 2017
Gymniad XXX - Reflection 79 12 Jan. 2018
Gymniad LI - Ancestral Campfires 73 24 Jan. 2018
Timewise, there is one from 2016, four from 2017, and five from 2018. As to genre/subject matter, there are two semi-religious poems, one piece of political doggerel, one standalone photograph, something in Udugi, two poems with general subject matter, and three poems on the subject of and illustrated by nudity (mine). The list includes a couple of my personal favorites, Prayer for the World, and Rumer. The bar of 73 visits has so far been too high for some of my other favorites. I'm happy to see that posts from the current year are holding their own although they are at a disadvantage in a two-year listing. I'm hoping that a few prose pieces will eventually make the list.
Thank you all for your continued encouragement.
