Sunrise as a man walksSurfriders Beach in Malibu

With gratitude say yes to your amazing personhood.  Yes without alteration or a nagging need for self-improvement.  Say yes to loving yourself with all your stuff, because Spirit made you just this way.  Know with me there is a reason for your being.  Perhaps you cannot put it into words but your very being is extraordinary because there is no other like you and you were made to be here at this time reading these words, and never to lose that wonderful attachment to what is eternal and sweet and kindly. That is as much “you” as anything else,  You have come this far, not in spite of your experiences, but because of them.    Reverend Nancy Zala

 Sunrise pops over the big building at its turnaround point on the horizon beginning its trek back up North.

If a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water.   … Ernest Hemingway

Sunrise in an interesting sky over Santa Monica from 4th Street.

I never figure it out too much. I feel like, as you're writing, you just find your way… I imagine different scenarios based on the things I was thinking about.                             …Sofia Coppola

Chilly morning...had to button up my jacket...at the Malibu Pier from Surfriders Beach where the beach keepers drove down to the shore to rescue a beached baby shark and then got their truck stuck in the sand.

I have always felt that the first duty of a writer was to ascend -- to make flights, carrying others along if you can manage it.   To do this takes courage, even a certain conceit.        …E.B. White

Scripturally we could say that you are the image and likeness of God.  You could say that you are another way the universe becomes conscious of itself.  You could say we are the infinite field of unfolding possibility.    ....Michael Bernard Beckwith

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.
