Dear Readers: I wanted to share with you that, from now on, I’ll likely be doing most of my writing on the Substack platform. You can find my page here. All posts are free, and if you subscribe, there is no charge.
Life, as always, is taking me unexpected places. Today, the degree that I’ve been working on the past year with the Global Leaders Institute has officially been conferred, and I continue to learn and explore as a student at Bexley Seabury, an Episcopal seminary based here in Chicago. My horn continues to be an integral part of my life; I still practice daily, perform, teach, and coach chamber music. But while my writing continues to be informed by my life in music (because how can it not?), it rarely fits into the neat category of writing that is centered on music and the horn. For the time being, I’m keeping the blog up, but please come and find me on Substack.
Right now I’m writing a series of posts called “Winging Through the Gaps” which takes its title from a gorgeous passage in Annie Dillard’s book Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. I’m thinking these days about wilderness and wandering, voice and authenticity, and how to bridge gaps. How to cross from here to there. And how maybe this wandering state is where the fullness of life exists.
Hope to see you there.
Angela
