Thank You, Again!

Two years ago, I posted a “Thank You” to all the readers who visited my literary and photography blog sites. As an artist, I felt immensely delighted that my thoughts and photos had been read more than 10,000 times by visitors from 62 countries.

Two years later, I feel even more energized to keep my blogs active and vibrant. Indeed, almost 45,000 times has my work been read, viewed and commented upon!

It is pure pleasure to realize that I rarely know who reads my pages but that you are there, perhaps intrigued, perhaps eager to see what film photography can still do, or how a polyglot can bring in thoughts from various cultures to state a generic, panhuman idea or feeling.

For all of you who remain unknown to me, a big hug!

The Inside Place

A place to fall

While standing up again

A place to call

In sunny days or rain

There is spring blossom and there is ruin

Vast silence and sweet whisper

There old men recall and memories run

Now with breaths short as if final winter

A place to fall

In spring or an August night

When all around have lost their soul

For that place far in flight

But

There is little left in that place

A name, a balcony, a clay pot of jasmine

Blooming in the long night and space

Where the sea met its sand, and missed the last dance
