Where do all these visits to the poetry/photography blog come from?

As I write this, we have had 71,766 visits to this blog. I can show you where they came from this past week, but I can't explain it.

So there you have it, at least for the past week. I can't explain it. Russia is high, the US is low (maybe we have other things on our minds these days).

If you celebrate it, happy Thanksgiving.

The Words Pass Through Him / Les mots passent à travers lui /

The words pass through him,
unimpeded and undistorted,
unobstructed by dogma
or design.

Les mots passent à travers lui,
sans entrave et sans distorsion,
non obstrué par le dogme
ou la conception.

Las palabras pasan a través de él
sin trabas y sin distorsiones,
sin obstáculos por el dogma
o diseño.

As palavras passam por ele,
desimpedido e sem distorção,
desobstruído pelo dogma
ou disenho.
