I have missed your posts, my friend!! So great to hear from you - and I'm sorry I've been amiss at checking out your work. I do hope all is going well with school...ah..that was a long time ago for me I'm afraid. You take care and always great to hear from you. This is a SWEET illustration!! I wish I had a bug to modify my moods sometimes...sometimes I have the ol' gray cloud above me...boo!

A Large Number. Wislawa Szymborska

Four billion people on this earth,
but my imagination is the way it's always been:
bad with large numbers.
It is still moved by particularity.
It flits about the darkness like a flashlight beam,
disclosing only random faces,
while the rest go blindly by,
unthought of, unpitied.
...
My dreams—even they are not as populous as they should be.
There is more solitude in them than crowds or clamor.
Sometimes someone long dead will drop by for a bit.
A single hand turns a knob.
Annexes of echo overgrow the empty house.
I run from the threshold down into the quiet
valley seemingly no one's—an anachronism by now.

Where does all this space still in me come from—
that I don't know.
