63,000 Visits
Today we are crossing the threshold of 63,000 visits to this poetry blog (since its inception in October 2016). It's been well under three years, so we are getting more than 20,000 blog visits per year.
This year, the world is in a mess. Most importantly, we are in a climate crisis, and politicians, who are willfully denying it, are prostituting themselves to the willful denial of their constituents, especially the wealthy ones, who can contribute more significantly to their campaigns. Systemic corruption runs rampant through our lives and through our institutions.
Each of us will deal with this in her or his way. Personally, I try to find inspiration in nature, in the remote past, and in a future that sometimes makes me shudder. I try to find inspiration in art, in photography, and in at least some of my fellow humans. When all that fails, my last resort is humor.
Thanks to all of you for your continuing interest and loyalty. ꮹꮩ.
