Geometric drawing has taken me on quite a cultural journey. Today, I understand why geometry is sacred. Initially I became interested in what is known as Islamic geometry. Examples of it’s artistry are found around the world and on this website. In holy and humble places, the patterns are everywhere once you *see* them. Straight lines dominate but movement, fluidity,…

I’m now in my seventh decade of life here, this time around, and find myself still firmly rooted in the same vicinity of my birthplace, Neptune………… New Jersey, that is. The fact that planet Neptune is located near the nadir of my horoscope is a constant source of amusement. Synchronicity, you know? During High School I was on the staff…
SUNDAY, OCT 9, 2016 1:30 pm East Brunswick Public Library, 2 Civic Center Drive. NJ I’ve attended the Harper’s Escape weekend intensive maybe 6 times, and now that I’ve finally gotten the ‘hang’ of it, it’s ending. After 25 years Kathy, the director, and one of my most favorite teachers, is retiring this event. So sad. But, I do…
I have so many questions for you today. I wish you were here. I miss the quiet, calm, presence we shared when we sat together. What would you make of this world in 2016? I’d love to hear what you’d say regarding the current political situation! And, there’s no doubt in my mind that you’d be sitting with at least…
A few weeks ago while at the Grounds for Sculpture (GFS) with Storyteller’s Mosaic I told a story about Paris and seeing the Mona Lisa. It was a fun day for everyone.

I’ve been back for nearly a month now, yet Paris lingers in my mind. The Eifel Tower was my #1 must see and we got there on the first day. The night before, we wandered around an amusement park near our hotel and when we got near the top of our ferris wheel ride I got my first glimpse! …
Heading to the NJ State Folk Festival this weekend where I’ll see one of my favorite harp teachers. I’m really excited to hear some current folk music. It’s been a while. As a “baby-boomer-extraordinaire” I spent countless hours listening to people like Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, and Tim something?…… It’s a maritime theme this year and I just attended a…
This Sunday is The NJ Storyteller’s Festival and I’ll be on a stage at 4pm. Me and stages have had a comfortable relationship thruout my life. I’ve been on them many times, for many reasons, with groups and solo a lot, too. But, this time, it feels really new and different and scary/exciting……. I’m telling a personal story that my…
I came across this old post and thought you should re-read it now that the Cardinal Cross is here. Waking up to ice on my windshield on April 15 is a stunning reminder that things are indeed changing. …more later
Can you see the nest? It’s brand new! The Feng Shui of it, is simply marvelous. I am grateful.
