Haiku: Gold Flecks High in Pine

Gold flecks high in pine:

Has a rain tree there entwined?

Light of rising sun.

There is neither left nor right nor up nor down. All is here and all is now.

His past, present, and future lives are his footprints. One is not more important than another.

This poetry / writing / photography blog has now had 113,000 visits (page-views) since its inception in October 2016. It has nearly 2,500 entries, which is a lot of content. I am currently indexing the whole thing, and have done it through August 2018. I am indexing it according to date of entry, which actually gives the best grouping of subject matter. I started the indexing work at the end of March, and can probably be at the half-way point by the end of May. "Real life" is strong competition for my time, especially since Sandy will be having knee-replacement surgery soon, but this suggests that the indexing task may be up-to-date by the end of July.

I'll soon start printing out the index, and it will be like a book in itself. For the first time, I'll really be able to see what I have, how it falls into groups, and to find things. Then, when my "ducks are in a row," as a friend said, I'll start marching them, I'm not sure where to.

As usual, I'd like to thank you all for your loyalty and continued interest.
