The night before last, while I was visiting on the Astral in the early morning hours, the number of visits to this blog passed 108,000. Now 108, the product of 9 and 12, is a sacred number, and a perfect number. We must not, therefore, allow this milestone to pass by unnoticed.
The content of this blog still includes poetry, prose writing, and photography, in varying proportions. A new trend, though, is the combining of short poetry and other similarly laconic writing with photographs. I like this trend, because in it a tighter connection is formed between text and image, raising both to a higher level.
I continue to use Udugi as a personal auxiliary language, one that is also, when written in the Sequoia syllabary, highly decorative. Lately, though, I have a hankering for yet another linguistic option. Should I achieve it, you will see it here.
Hint: It will involve Eastern Polynesian vocabulary combined with a simplified grammar, all chosen with a view to wide mutual intelligibility. Sound exciting? To me it does, and it will satisfy a past-life yearning. Let me know if you are interested in collaborating
As always, I thank you all for your continued interest and enthusiasm.
