Santa Monica Sunrise-not in the blue tint only seen right at sunrise.  Sunrise-not presses against the fog but hasn’t popped through yet.  It’ll be there when I’m ready.  It’ll be there ready or not!

Sunrise in my own back yard.  What to blog?  Anything.  What to blog? Everything.  No one will read it except the ones it’s written for.  The ones with eyes to read it, with ears to hear it….. with the heart to know what’s there for you.   Nothing for some.  Something for some.

Sunrise pokes through in front of work in Brentwood after a sunrise-not in heavy fog.
Early late early late.  When will I ever let that go already?  Will I ever let go of needing to let go?  Enough.  E-NOUGH!

Day started in a heavy fog....
Colonic day.   No, let it be Tuesday, blessed Tuesday.  I don’t have to give the whole day over to a simple of release.   It is temporal.   This is a time of flux, always ever-changing.  The only “disease” I have is that of being human.  It’s right here.  Not in what’s supposed to be.   Not in what could be better.  My health, my finances, all in abundance in this friendly universe.

Sunrise in Mar Vista.  Monday mind.  Digging around for something to worry about.  Let it go.  Release.  Yes I drive into traffic soon.  One hazard of witnessing sunrise is driving straight into it afterwards.  This doesn’t get easier but it usually takes just a little shift to alleviate the blindness.   Don’t like sunglasses for how they mute the natural light.  Afraid I’ll miss seeing a pedestrian.  So there I am.  Found something to worry about.

Nothing to say yet.  But, as sure as that sun presented its display where, moments before, there was none, something will emerge if only I will sit and let it.  Fantasy-in-progress (FIP)  It’s about this new territory we’re in. Not the clichés but the new realm where we may olive well past 100.  When the idea of retirement is absurd.  This is not the time to retire or to re-run the same old thing we did before, but rather to transform into what we were born to be – what we came here for – NOW.

 So now I may find something to reveal with this sunrise posting.  It doesn’t have to be a big thing.  It just has to be because something is arising within us – always.   Because Spirit is around us always everywhere.  And my handwriting doesn’t have to be perfect for me to read Spirit’s message.  Though most of what I write is yadda, called thinking.  There’s nothing wrong (or right) about it.  I may mean one thing and write down another.  Or I may write one thing and read back another.   Therein may be found “Spirit’s message.”

Dreamt about John deLancie – that I went to his house with a script.    Saw he was selling his monkey (monkey mind!)  He stood off in a corner and I felt he disapproved my being there, so I left without speaking to him.

Sunrise-not through the lemon tree in my own back yard.    Wondering if I’m tragically disappointed about never meeting John deLancie – about all that being a fantasy I wasn’t able to manifest.  A dream-not-coming-true.  Well, what I’m going to say is Thank You for this journey with this fantasy that brings me right here still writing about it.    That’s all I know.   That this right here is my yellow brick road.   Colinic and all, lemon tree and all, Thursday and all.  And exactly as it is, I know that everything works together for my good and I say YES.  I trust in God and bless John deLancie on his yellow brick road….wherever it may lead him.

We must re-learn to be alone. Instead of planting our solitude with dream blossoms, we choke the space with continuous  music, chatter, and companionship to which we do not even listen. It is simply there to fill the vacuum.  …Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Well I didn’t do it – or did I?  Wrote a caption on yesterday’s sunrise but couldn’t just post it on Facebook.   The “blog” showed up but with the wrong picture attached..  Right caption/wrong sunrise.  Can’t figure it out but I trust it can be done.   And then I’ll do it.

Sunrise is well underway in Malibu after I overslept 20 minutes....that never happens!  Beca,ee very  clear to me that I am right on time - always - despite what my scolding mind would say

If one wishes to spend one's life as a writer, it is a dangerous undertaking on the most primitive level.  For, it seems to me, the act of writing with serious intent involves  enormous personal risk. It entails the ongoing courage for self-discovery.   It means one will walk forever on the tightrope, with each new step presenting the possibility of learning a truth about oneself that is too terrible to bear.  …Harlan Ellison

Sunrise through the lemon tree in my own backyard at 59th Place and Brynhurst in LA.

Energy is life force, our natural power or strength. It resides in our breathing. When our breathing changes, our emotions change, our movements change, and our perception of the world changes accordingly.  When our vital energy is obscured by strong emotions, opinions, and  concepts, our perspective narrows and our strength diminishes.  When we are free of such blockages, our power is free and expansive.        …Irini Rockwell

Sunrise pokes  through the clouds over Starbucks in Mar Vista.

Sunrise showing the dramatic flair....so hard to choose the "best" one.
If you are evolving into a more loving, more compassionate, less violent person, then you are moving in the right direction. Like me, you may become distracted, make wrong turns at times, lost until you find the way back. It may seem as if you're taking two steps forward and then one step backwards, but that's all right. That's how it works when we're in human form.   …Brian Weiss

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.
