Help keep me alive and working! My only income comes from my writing and having adventures; so help keep me going even at 74 and with Parkinson’s.
“Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?”

Very interesting! I could start making sense of it around A.D. 900, but only because I’ve had some German in college (but not much, really). A great post. Many thanks.
Ik (als Nederlandse) begon een ietsje te begrijpen zo rond 900, maar het werd veel gemakkelijker te verstaan zo rond 1500/1600. Alles wat ik voor die tijd hoorde leek meer een Skandinavische taal.
