Why do I think of masts
When I mention a port?
And of sailboats
When I mention the open seas?
Of cats when I mention March,
Of workers when I mention justice?
And why does the old miller
Believe in God without thinking?
And on windy days
Why does the rain come down at a slant?

🙂 Hey Leonard — I wanted to let you know my blog has changed… long story but you can read my post– it got deleted over the weekend– my new blog address is: https://west517photos.wordpress.com/ So frustrated I could just scream.
But thanks for sharing this, I especially like the last 2 lines ~
Hi West, I confirmed a follow on your new blog address. Sorry you had problems with the old address but very happy you contacted me to let me know your new address. It must be a lot of work contacting all your followers, but I’m sure, like me, they don’t want to lose you.
different – and I love the questions he asks himself
Glad you liked him. He is very popular here in Turkey. He unfortunately died very young.
that is sad – maybe why he had so many questions to get through early
Çok güzel!
The translation is so strong.
All the best,
