There are times when it feels like no one is visiting--or even enjoying--this blog...

But I check the "Activity" section and see that some--not many, mind you--have looked in on it. I've been here for 13 years and, early on, received frequent messages and questions, but these days...well, no, hardly any. Is it me or is it simply what the site has become?

Tanka Diary

Evening shadows steal

across the chair where I sit.

I reach not for the light,

content as I tend to be

in both darkness and in light.

Tanka

From what I have seen

of those who dwell in the light,

I’ll take the shadows.

Those on the other side seem

shallow and far from wisdom.
