I have a new piece for you today on Substack: The river spirit. Here is a sneak peek:
I am the gushing flood after hibernation, stretching my limbs across the banks, taking them by force. I am the nursery of tadpoles and fry, I poke pebbles awake with sun rays, and paint a thousand mirrors on spawning trout. I take tea with the clouds on days of grey. I mutter in trickles under icy covers.
The Substack account is something I have started recently and that I use to dive deep into writing for the sake of writing, regardless of the subject. I share whatever I like to share whenever I like and with no expectations from myself other than to share to those who enjoy what I write.
I got an email from a reader the other day. She was concerned that she may have to start a substack account to be able to read and comment. There is no need for that unless you want to. There is no cost, I don’t sell anything, I just share my writing for those who want to read. If you subscribe (with or without having an account) to my substack page you will get an email with the whole text every time I post something and you don’t even have to go to the Substack page. If you want to comment you can do it on the substack page (and create an account) or just as a reply to the email.
