78,000 Visits, and the Road Ahead

Today we are passing the milestone of 78,000 visits to this blog since I started it in October 2016. As always, I thank my loyal readers in well over a hundred countries.

I expect that the content of the blog will remain much the same in coming months: poetry, photography, and the occasional prose piece. At the same time, I think there is likely to be a sharpening of focus: I need to get back to my work on the Hebrew Gospel of Matthew. I will be continuing to point the text, and will further extend the Commentary on the Teachings of Rabbi Yeshua. These things will, at any rate, be among my priorities.

I am not sure whether I will be adding to my memoir. Having published what I have, in twenty parts, I feel less pressure about it.

Thanks to all of you for making this blog the success that it already is. Thank you, merci, gracias, obrigado, todah, wadó, ꮹꮩ.

The Cosmic Woman / La femme cosmique / La mujer cósmica / A mulher cósmica / La kosma virino

There is only the cosmic woman
and the cosmic man.
We live myriad billions of lives
while she lowers her fan.

Il n'y a que la femme cosmique
et l'homme cosmique.
Nous vivons des milliards de vies
pendant qu'elle baisse son éventail.

Solo hay la mujer cósmica
y el hombre cósmico.
Vivimos miles de millones de vidas
mientras que ella baja su abanico.

Existe apenas a mulher cósmica
e o homem cósmico.
Vivemos uma infinidade de bilhões de vidas
enquanto ela abaixa o leque.

Estas nur la kosma virino
kaj la kosma homo.
Ni vivas multajn miliardojn da vivoj
dum ŝi malaltigas sian ventumilon.

The Ruins of this Riches Les ruines de cette richesse / +es, pt, eo, heb

Even the ruins of this riches
are a gift and sacrosanct.

Même les ruines de cette richesse
sont un cadeau et sacro-saintes.

Incluso las ruinas de esta riqueza
son un regalo y sacrosantas.

Até as ruínas dessa riqueza
são um presente e sacrossantas.

Eĉ la ruinoj de ĉi tiu riĉaĵo
estas donaco kaj sacrosantaj.

אפילו הריסות העושר הזה
הם מתנה ומקודש.
