One reader

I get a kick out of reading some of the statistics available about my blog.  I read that India has the most people of any country: 1.3 billion.  For comparison, the US has about one third that many people.  I can get some statistics about my blog and people who read it.  At times, India or China or some other country with a large population is reported to have one person who looked at my blog.  From my experiences teaching, I have a respect for the power of a single person.  I have no way of knowing who the one person is, how much of my blog that person read, what the words did for that reader.  I am confident that if an internet user stumbled on a post by accident and forgot about seeing it, the experience might have been less than a single breath. Or, my post might have enraged or enriched a life, maybe briefly or maybe permanently.
