Today is February 21st, the First Sunday of Lent, and I'm giving up winter for the rest of the year. If only it were that simple, but here in Florida, we're more fortunate than most, by far.
We have now passed the milestone of 107,000 visits to his blog. It has been seventeen days since we passed the last milestone (106K), so things have slowed down a little bit.
The other day I published Part VII of Notes on the Zohar. The series continues to hold my interest, and I hope it will hold yours. Studying the Zohar is stimulating my interest in Kabbalah, and in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Chasidism. I'm feeling the urge to once again acquire a copy of Shneur Zalman's Likkutei Amarim (Collected Sayings, known as the Tanya), which I tried to read in the 1960s, but was not ready to understand. All of this forms a related complex that will certainly produce some writing.
As to my poetry, I find myself inserting short poems or parts of poems into images, thus making the relationship between poems and illustrations closer than ever.
I am thinking of doing some poetry readings on Youtube. Please let me know if there are any particular poems that you would like to see included.
As always, I thank you all for your continued interest and enthusiasm.
