I run a membership program called SPECIAL PROJECTS and it provides the emotional and financial backbone for almost all of the work I do. SP members get access to all sorts of SPECIAL stuff. I have two newsletters: _Ridgeline_ is published weekly._Roden_ , monthly.
_Ridgeline_ is about walking in Japan. _Roden_, literature, film, photography, life, et cetera. Sign up below; it's always one-click to unsub.RIDGELINE
