Our Speech Is still Sprinkled with Spanish
Our speech is still sprinkled with Spanish,
I still drink ma-te every day,
but we are here,
and this is home.

Bride Cart
I'll push no more the militant bride-cart,
because I simply don't think it right
to seek my name with high abandon
in stony paths that know no peace.

62,000 Visits
This morning we passed the milestone of 62,000 visits to this blog since its inception in October of 2016. Over the past month, most of the visits have come from (in descending order) the United States, Russia, Germany, France, Israel, an Unknown Region (I believe it to be associated with Russia, but I'm not sure), a small Middle Eastern country, Portugal, Greece, and South Korea. These are the top ten, but there have been visits from many other countries as well.
As to the popularity of individual posts, I see that The Beatitudes, a Trajectory through Time, a prose piece from 31 May, related to New Testament studies and my proposed solution to the so-called Synoptic Problem (which is really a puzzle rather than a problem) has attracted 35 visits. The only post garnering more visits was The Light, a small, minimalist poem published on 25 May, at 38 visits. All types of posts are reflected in the top ten positions.
I'm afraid I must cut this entry short, as the thunder outside is becoming worrisome.
Thanks to all of you for your continued interest in this blog.
