dailybell calendar challenge 2016

Each New Year's Eve, I've recommitted to the daily observation of the sunrise and sunset. The original premise- that it is possible to affirm our connection to one another and to the natural world through participation in a shared, elemental experience hasn't changed. As each new year dawns, I like to come up with a different way to invite others to join the project. 2016 is a leap year, as was 2008 when the project began. It seems mildly auspicious and a good excuse to propose something major.

A Year of Sunrises

A Year of Sunrises (February 12th)
At first the overcast mornings disappointed -
only a soft creep of light -
what a letdown after the brilliant orange and pink of yesterday.
Now the invisible dawn of a foggy morning
is its own kind of miracle.
