I believe in art
This is a personal note to ELOGOS readers:
The purpose of my words and art is to be an aqueduct of the creative, joyful, hopeful, imaginative divine spirit in the homes of others. Money from purchases of my words and art serve that purpose only in small ways for me. Etsy is a way for me to reach a wider audience but Etsy's fees combined with the post office's ever-increasing burdens on shipping costs amount to giving my work away while the buyer's funds pay Etsy and USPS. I will keep doing this because of my commitment to my own purpose. At the end of the day, I must live at peace inside my own skin.
So far, ELOGOS which is now hosted by substack as my list server to about 300+ subscribers, is still free to me and you. It will remain that way as it has since ELOGOS beginning over 27 years ago.
As a good steward, I will migrate more art items to join my books on sale on my website store: jazzwater.com - which has associated fees as well but far less ways to reach a wider audience. Sharing my posts and pics of my artwork help widen that audience. I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness in doing that. Thank you for listening. And thank you for your support of the arts.
Peace,
Deb
