A few days ago we passed the milestone of 150,000 page-views (what I used to refer to as "visits") in this poetry/writing/photography blog. This was largely due to a single user accessing almost 1,700 of my blog posts, in an automated way, in a period of about twenty minutes. This is serious interest, indeed. It represents slightly more than half of my database of 2,962 total posts in the blog. I used to associate such activity with planned piracy of my work, but since no pirate publications have come to my attention, I'm really not sure. In any case, I hope that s/he enjoys all those poems, articles, and photos. I hope that all my loyal readers, in more than 100 countries, enjoy them, too.
Lately I've been writing more on Bible translation, especially concerning the Psalms. Most recently I wrote quite a lengthy and detailed post about a translation problem with Psalm 2:12, a verse whose translation from Hebrew has generated a large amount of controversy.
Just SOME of the books that I needed in writing about a single verse of Psalm 2.
For several months now, I've also been doing a series called "Aging Project," illustrated with my own photography. Here's a sample, Aging Project XXIII:

I also have a future project in mind, involving a fresh approach to translation of some of our oldest poetry, the Book of Psalms. Not wanting to take the wind out of my own sails, I'll say no more about it for now.
As always, thank you, my loyal readers, for your continued interest and enthusiasm.
