Sunrise bursts forth from the horizon over Los Angeles from Mar Vista.

Often, we try to run away from feeling. And, as we avoid feeling—in a kind of “spiritual bypass”—we cannot plunge into oceanic Oneness. We get stuck between the surface and the deep and can’t touch the Divine Depths. What we really need to do is to feel so deeply that we reach the Universal. To know the wholeness that is beneath our experience of brokenness. To see the pearl caressing the grain of sand.   …Jane Bolton

Sun-having-risen over the Agape International Spiritual Center parking lot.   Choir Sunday is the one day each month I may miss the actual sunrising when I'm singing in the Choir at that moment....so worth showing up for.

When you let go of trying to get more of what you don’t really need, it frees up oceans of energy to make a difference with what you have.  When you make a difference with what you have, it expands.  …Lynne Twist

Sunrise on moving day from Los Angeles right next to Beverly Hills to Culver City right next to Sony Studios.

The ordeals that seem to crucify us are not a sign that we're doing something wrong. They are an essential part of the spiritual path, and the only efficient response is a state of surrender. I find that, for me, the clearest, simplest and most effective prayer is simply "Show me the good!"   …Evelyn Underhill

Stunning sunrise for my dear Sister Diane's birthday......Happy Birthday, Di!

Right this very moment, there are beautiful souls on this beautiful planet, whom you do not even know, yet through your meanderings and theirs, paths will cross, love will be shared, and eternal friendships will be created.  And nothing you do, or don't do, can prevent these serendipities and so many more.     …The Universe

I take photos of the sunrise every day….since 2001.   Created a website www.sunrisesunrise.com  offering them for special occasions like a baby’s birth, weddings, anniversaries.  

First half of my life I lived in Chicago doing – jobs, school, marriage, MBA from the University of Chicago, jobs, with two fabulous kids.  In 1996 I was gifted with a dream of Q from Star Trek Next Generation that changed my life.  Q said three things:  Who are you……..I want you naked……..Trust me. 

Overnight my world shifted from doing-doing-doing to the journey within.  I was guided to write a movie to be titled “How to Find the Soul (Using Your Dirty Mind) about this quest, though I’d never written anything before.   Then in 2001 I was called to the sunrise to get a picture of it for every day of the year.   Living in Chicago at the time, there were many days when the sun didn’t show up at all, and so it took me over 4 years to accomplish that mission.  By then I was hooked, and now never need to set a clock to get up in time.  Even when I went to Australia,  was up on time for the sunrise.

 

The movie is now written and brought me to Los Angeles in 2006 to pursue getting it made. 

I was totally surprised to find that it is possible to see the sunrise over the ocean at certain points in Malibu.  Though the screenplay is not yet sold, I have spoken to John de Lancie, who played Q so brilliantly, and still hope to engage his participation in it.  The sunrise collection continues to grow and now totals over 15,000 sunrises, many posted on Facebook.  Contact me for the photos of the sunrise on a specific date.
