Substack! Is it a blog, or a newsletter, or a new form of social media? Well, it’s all of the above, and it’s a place to share ideas with others, to meet interesting writers, gardeners, mystics, Tarot readers, and restorers of habitat. Why do I write there and not in a plain newsletter? Because I want to meet new people, and get outside of my known circle of supporters. It’s the same reason really that I have this website, and in linking the two, I’m making sure you can find me easily, keep up with what I’m doing in the studio and outside my four walls. I am also a Tarot reader. These three areas of my life are deeply integrated, each one informing the other. When you subscribe to The Hidden Pond, my weekly newsletter aka blog, you’ll receive an email notification whenever I publish. Use the link below to subscribe. I hope you’ll join me each week as I write a new post.

Looking Out, Looking Down
January was definitely a month when, like the Roman deity Janus, I looked in two directions, out and down. Two weeks ago, as I prepared my Pecha Kucha presentation for the January event at the Rockport Opera House, the idea popped into my head that I'm a sort of gyroscope, now oriented toward the far horizon, now looking down at the ground beneath my feet.
