"Oh Me of Little Faith" or "Leggo My Ego"

I have no idea how many people read this blog. And, since I write TOTO as much for myself as I do for any potential reader, I have not been too concerned with numbers. But blogger.com has just released a new feature called "Followers" that allows you to add your profile to this blog so that we can become more of a community. Four people signed up before I even knew you could do so. So, as you may have noticed, I have added the feature to the blog.

It is a risk for me and my ego in that while I write for myself and I really don't care how many people read this blog I am really lying when I say this and in fact care deeply, perhaps even desperately, and will be crushed if you don't sign on as a Fellow Traveler. Crushed, I say!

So please feed my ego and let me know you are out there.

Thanks and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I just got "Let go of my Ego." That is very clever. Glad to be a fellow traveler.

I signed up. I'm a big fan of your blog - you come closest of anyone I know to articulating my fairly inarticulate agnostic(ish) spiritualism. Type of thing. See what I mean by inarticulate?

Love your blog. We met at Wisdom University/Chartres, summer before last. Lunch with the Muses. You had the salmon. I'm sure I had traife.

I agree with Matthew! I enjoy reading your blog, and you articulate with great humor, great humility, and great profoundness my thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and questions. Thank you for putting yourself out there like that!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Rami: I just read your translation of The Way of Solomon -- excellent in simplicity, poetry and wisdom.

I thank each and every one of you for the kind remarks. Have a blessed Thanksgiving.

Oddly, when I signed up to be a fellow traveler, the form came up in Japanese. I closed the window, thought about it, then re-opened it and figured that I should just fill in the blanks as usual, even if I couldn't read the words - and it worked!

Any thoughts about why google/blogger would think that the sign-up form should be in a language other than English?
