Sunrise pops at the horizon from Modjeska Place in Mar Vista,
I’ll die one day and the day after that the sun will rise. And then one day the sun will die too, transformed into a supernova. And the day after that, as each and every day before, countless suns will rise over countless planets and beings, known only in our imaginations
SUNRISE….arrived a minute early and got full emergence. The sun’s movement across the horizon continues to amaze me. How did it get THERE so soon? How did I get so old already?

Sunrise through the lemon tree in my own backyard. Today is new job day.

Sunrise-surprise on Modjeska Place in Mar Vista. Pulled up one minute early, saw the thick cloud bank after rain all through the night. Thought emergence wouldn’t happen for quite a while, drove away and then got a call-back a block or 2 away. I stood corrected! All that feels so good. So complete, not to have missed it.

Sunrise emerges over Agape International Spiritual Parking Lot as I sang with the choir this Choir Sunday
It is God's play of light and shadow that has made certain creation appear as it does to us. When you realize this, you see it as a dream motion picture. ..Paramahansa Yogananda
Sunrise-NOT again. Waited until KNEW in my bones that it was truly there. No Frank at Starbucks today. Must be seriously considering moving back if he stays this long out East in February. Gonna miss that Spirit!
The best is yet to be. … Robert Browning
Sunrise-not over the Prius from Modjeska Street in Mar Vista. Solid. Meanwhile there’s a fabulous photo of Chicago’s frozen shoreline in the New York Times. 30 below wind chill. So glad I wasn’t there to take that one. Ah yes I remember those days, lowering the car window to quick-snap the shot before the camera froze.
The only real valuable thing is intuition . ..Albert Einstein
Sunrise-not from atop 4th Street at Marine. Always a trace of light that announces its presence there behind the clouds. So, hello. Feeling warm. A little over-dressed after much careful consideration. Now I’m hot. Same wouldn’t be said back in Chicago where 30 below wind chills are predicted. Thank you God for delivering me here to 59 degrees.
Know once and forever that you are not seeking God, but God is seeking you. …Dr. Emily
Sunrise-not in Mar Vista and then a grand emergence at Vanya’s just as I arrived for work.
Woke up around 11 PM kicking my covers off, thrashing around. So where am I trying to thrash my way free? In my mind, that’s where. Trying to free myself from these fears I make up.
Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view. …Anonymous
Sunrise-not in Santa Monica….Cough cough. Ah but there’s a patch of brightening down Main Street. Yes yes I get to go to work today. Got an eBay sale to ship. And within? Got goods to deliver there too. And a sun in emergence to catch.
In the light of a truly freed mind no prejudice can disguise itself as zeal, no bullying can masquerade as leadership, no pettiness can pose as importance. The freed mind will never confuse a sentimentality with a true emotion, an act of violence with an act of heroism, a slogan with a cause. Men and women with freed minds may often be mistaken, but they are seldom fooled. They may be influenced, but they can't be intimidated. They may be perplexed, but they will never be lost… Robert F. Kennedy
A rare Monday in Malibu for a sunrise-NOT. Foggy but coming through soon I’m thinkin’.
“50 Shades of Gray” is out…a best seller about S&M bringing the dark side up for examination. Letting us know we are not alone in our perversions – what turns us on. What shames us. Whatever that may be, we are surely not alone. And I need not see it. Let it flow on by to bring light to the darkness. That it too may show “How to Find the Soul (Using Your Dirty Mind.) Yes yes yes, it IS all one. Thank You Spirit.
Rewriting separates the men from the boys. The first draft is love. The second is sex. The third is fun. The rest are all pulling teeth. Getting that seventh draft done is like dropping your beautiful vase on the floor and trying to glue all the million little pieces together to make it look good again. …Matthew Sand
Sunrise through the Malibu Pier at Surfriders Beach
Why is it so hard to find the day’s caption? Looking so hard for it. Let it rise like the sun. Some special words to capture its uniqueness. To spotlight its distinction. Words fail me though there are infinite…ugh, trying too hard. Stop truing. Start letting and then keep on practicing. Let it be easy. Let it flow in grace and gratitude. From the infinite source that created it all, created us all. We are just a tiny speck of it all and that’s the adventure. The unique opportunity of being here now in this body, this vehicle, this life. Mine and mine alone.
The problem with “You should be doing better,” is that we become convinced that we don’t naturally excel or strive, seek or care. We come to believe that without tyrannical exhortation nothing good or excellent would ever happen. It is a lie. We are made to excel, strive, seek and care. If excelling, striving, seeking and caring were punished by death, we would do it anyway . ..John Anderson, Ph.D
3 minutes late for the sunrise. Well, no, I saw the sky ablaze in my rear view mirror. No such thing as late. Need to shift my consciousness to leave the bed to flow into more of the light. But then I can always see this now when the light is here.
Dream lofty dreams. In moments of meditation, when you get lost in the joy of what you long to be, you are ascending to the heavens of your own mind. ..Joseph Murphy
Evolutionary Triggers…..IDIOT! An ancient pronouncement.
IDIOT! One who is learning.
There’s the fear. The fear of saying the wrong thing. So all I have to do to NOT be an idiot is NOT speak. I’ll show those name-callers.
The beautiful thing about the law of attraction is you can begin where you are. ...Michael Bernard Beckwith
Sunrise so bright had to be caught through a tree in Mar Vista. February 12, 2015 has never happened before. It happens now, today happens NOW.
Let us learn, then, from those in search of what they have not been able to find and hold in the press of humanity around them: peace of mind, gentleness of heart, calmness of spirit, daily joy. Those who are mastering the art of flying solo and soaring to their highest human potential. Who have come to understand that to know and to love and to be of value to others, they first must know and love and value themselves; that to find their way in the world, they have to start by finding themselves. …Lionel Fisher
Bright sunrise from Modjeska Road in Mar Vista
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom . ..Anais Nin
Got the sunrise across the street and then the sunrise through the lemon tree in my own backyard. Divine Spirit is just that close....winking at me.
No man (or woman) ever achieved worth-while success who did not, at one time or other, find himself with at least one foot hanging well over the brink of failure. …Napoleon Hill
Bright sunrise in Mar Vista on Modjeska after heavy fog at home. Interesting. The opposite of expectation. Means nothing. Means anything we make it up to mean. The sun shines on it all. Yes, to simply release. Doesn’t seem so simple only because I make it up not simple. Yes, now is simple – clear- infinite possibility.
Boredom is the energy it takes to block creativity …Michael Bernard Beckwith
Today’s sunrise was totally unexpected. Drove in and out of heavy fog all the way up and then surprise surprise – a narrow band of pink for the sun to show up for a 90 second Ta-Da and then gone again. May be clearing now just a bit. When am I going to get interesting? Probably when I quit judging if I’m interesting or not.
Follow your bliss and the Universe will open doors for you where there were only walls. …Joseph Campbell
Sunrise as a surfer rushes to the surf.
Things change. People come and people go. Our paths always call us to our greater-yet-to-be. Grateful for life’s miraculous intersections.
Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen. …Albert Einstein
