This blog is two months shy of having been in existence for four years, and today we passed the milestone of 90,000 visits to the blog. I am gratified by the response.
The blog, of course, is not only poetry and photography: I also write expository prose on various subjects. Recently, I wrote two blog posts on the subject of The Roots of Monotheism. In the course of doing that, I had to refresh my memory concerning Ancient Egypt and its language (which I studied to some extent, along with Sahidic Coptic, many years ago). That seems to have stirred up some Egyptian associations in my mind, which I was mulling over tonight.
In my early Pagan days (see my series Journal of a Naked Poet), I was a member of several Pagan groups, including the Fellowship of Isis. Since I never resigned, I suppose I am still a member, though an inactive one. I even found my enrollment certificate (No. 11,167, 2nd April 1992), signed by both Lawrence and Olivia, and accompanied by a personalized drawing by Olivia. This made me wonder if there are other FOI members in my blog audience. Please let me know: exolinguist at gmail dot com, or in a comment directly on this post.
As usual, I would like to thank you all for your continued interest, loyalty, and enthusiasm.
