Sunrise-NOT with Denise, another sunrise photographer, at Modjeska Place in Mar Vista. Seeing how I was suspicious of her at first. Protecting myself from a kindred Spirit……
.....Writing can be a pretty desperate endeavor, because it is about some of our deepest needs: our need to be visible, to be heard, our need to make sense of our lives, to wake up and grow and belong. … Anne Lamott
Sunrise emerges over the Agape International Spiritual Center parking lot between choir performances.
The more we learn the more we know that we don’t know much.
Ahh, saw the lunar eclipse on my drive to Malibu. Shoulda stopped to take its photo but I might have been late for the sunrise at the Pier. Got my priorities. Sunrise has moved behind the mountains so I had to wait for it anyway.

Fascinating smoke pattern rose vertically from the horizon with this otherwise clear clear sunrise at Modjeska Place in Mar Vista……………………….

Sunrise perfect in my own front yard, down 59th Place in Los Angeles. Don’t know when it gets to the lemon tree. I moved on…………

Love yourself deeply and completely. Let the Spirit be your guide. Drop all your wishful thinking and trust yourself. Step into the life God made for you. Let go of all the hesitation and come into yourself. Avail yourself of the One and Only Source of Love, God. Be a light onto yourself. Then ignite the world with your own effulgence………………Rev. Safire Rose
Sunrise bright and beautiful in just the right spread of clouds for drama. Yes. Beauty to behold to start the day. Today I know I must write and just write more to let Spirit flow through it. But it’s not all for posting. Just the pearls – if any. Surely there’s at least one pearly word from Spirit’s realm. And in order to find it I must simply WRITE. And not post it all? Hmm seems that quickly turns into editing – into not good enough. Well stop hopping from one foot to the other. The PEARL is the Both/And.
In your heart, keep one still, secret spot where dreams may go and be sheltered so may thrive and grow. … Louise Driscoll
Sunrise-NOT at a quiet Modjeska Place on a quiet Tuesday this last day of March. Made an appointment with Dr. William Chow 2 weeks from Thursday. Recommended by Reeca. Was just wondering if I’d lose Spirit speaking through my handwriting with micro-graphia – small handwriting that is a symptom of Parkinson’s Disease. OK, how do I be with this, not fight it nor embrace symptons. I am not my symptoms. I need not embrace suffering. And denial ain’t the way either.
Wait. Who said what about writing yesterday? That you let stuff go by writing it down. Bhavani. My mind begged to differ – screaming about 91 going on 92 journals of writing stuff down.
Neither embrace nor deny symptoms. They ain’t MINE. They’re just symptoms. There’s a whole very big part of me with no symptoms whatsoever. Bhavani said you write things down to deal with it. Ego said “uh-uh, you write it so you don’t deal with it.” Well, I don’t share it. Something here has me thinking to post all this. That sharing is a way of dealing with?? A way of bringing through what is here to come through me. Seeing all I’ve put out there / let come through with the Best of Sunrises…..just as the sun appeared over Ralph’s parking lot.
Don’t be afraid of the space between your dream and reality. …Belva Davis
Sunrise-not in a dense fog at Modjeska Place in Mar Vista....and then emergence out in front of Vanya's house where I work...........
When you are afraid to do something, say "what the heck" and do it anyway. Let the success be in taking the risk rather than attachment to the outcome. If you fall down, pick yourself back up and move on. The more risks you take, the more courage you build, and the more confident you become. Understand that your confidence will be stronger at different times and in different areas of your life than others. Accept this as part of the journey. When you are confident, you know you will handle whatever comes up in the best way you can and move on. Regardless of what happens, you will still be whole and complete unto yourself. …Stacey Mayo

Whoa, gigantic surf and the highest tide I’ve ever seen. Hence the coastal flood advisory has surfers flooding in for the WOW. Sunrise moves behind the mountain once more. Seems to happen so fast. …….
................You must trust yourself that you will do what is right for you, without having overly pre-planned your actions, and without the memory of past wounds holding you back. … John Kuypers
Got out to Point Dume today….10 minutes late. High surf / coastal flooding advisory brought the surfers out all up and down PCH. Not that it made me late but but but….no excuses…………….
With dominion over your attention, you experience the true meaning of freedom, which is more than merely a release from the thought form habits of worry, doubt, fear, dis-ease, discomfort and disharmony. …Michael Bernard Beckwith

I have so many demons and voices telling what a fraud I am and how my meager talent will be uncovered. Scripts have to be pried from my cold, dead hands before I let anyone read them . …Scott Frank
....There is a unique destiny for each person. If someone else could fulfill your destiny, then they would be in your place and you would not be here. It is in the depths of your life that you will discover the invisible necessity that has brought you here. When you begin to decipher this, your gift and giftedness come alive, your heart quickens and the urgency of living is rekindled. …John O’Donohue
Ah beautiful Santa Monica sunrise, right on time – me, not it, that is. Radiant colors filled the sky. All is well……..

Fabulous sunrise breaking through a cloud bank from Modjeska Place in Mar Vista, LA. Hearing Lissa’s words: “Everything’s gonna be all right” even as it doesn’t seem so all right in Lissa’s life right now. Shine the golden light on Lissa’s beautiful countenance. Breathe out her way out of no way. Seeing the morning mire of depressing/anxious thoughts. The darkest hour, just before the dawn. Please God, show us all that the dawn is always there, even then, unstoppable light. That I must know this in my heart first then let it shine on through!
The moment you claim your ability to co-create with the Spirit, your human mind begins to dissolve the false boundaries that previously kept you from doing so. …Michael Bernard Beckwith
Starbucks Cross Creek, Malibu -An alleluia Sunrise-NOT at Surfriders Beach. It’s coming and I’ll be there when it emerges. Or I’ll be here and catch the emergence when I get there. No worries…the sun rises in my heart always………………………………..
I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones. …John Cage
Sunrise-NOT with a bright spot overhead which prevailed after an hour or so to cast its magnificent rays down on the Malibu Pier. Yessss……………………………………………………..
.....Today a new sun rises for me, everything lives, everything is animated, everything seems to speak to me of passion, everything invites me to cherish it. …Anonymous
Happy birthday to John de Lancie. Sunrise-not caught at 6:57 AM. A really-NOT. Maybe I’ll catch a starburst emergence. Or not. Let the day unfold exactly as it will. Um, nothing enlightening to say in the meantime? Just the awareness of a brilliant NOW. Awakening to the gigantic ahhhh-ha of NOW.
Your aspirations are your possibilities. …Samuel Johnson
Sunrise-NOT at Modjeska Place though I went back again after the sky seemed to brighten – still a -NOT. More pinkish but yet a –NOT. And so I’m on watch for the sun-having-risen emergence. It’s my job because I say so. And the coffee-after at Starbucks is soo good. That which is right is unfolding.
Boredom is the antithesis of creativity.
OMG totally expected a gray sunrise-not today but instead got an awesome display of breathtaking shapes and color. Thank You God for sharing such magnificence with us any day any where….all we need do is show up.
Most of us have never allowed ourselves to want what we truly want because we can’t see how it’s going to manifest. …Jack Canfield
