dailybell: Summer Solstice Sunset. Day 91

dailybell

2008 was the inaugural year in an ongoing, aspirational project dedicated to the observation of the sun every time it crosses the horizon and to sharing the awareness of that moment with others while ringing bells. It is based on the conviction that something as inarguable as the movement of the earth can be used as a point of unity and awareness among large groups of people who might otherwise find it impossible to agree.

Summer Solstice Sunset. Day 91

June 20, 2020. Sunset 8:34 (again).
San Francisco, CA.

Happy Solstice! I had dropped some bells and invitations into our nearby neighbors' mail slots last night. And this evening we were ringing in the Solstice with the summer fog.
It was so lovely - The big bell bonging away, and then in the interim: a tiny sprinkling of sparkly little bells. A few people in their the windows and on the sidewalks- ringing and talking to one another through our masks, neighbors we haven’t seen a while and some we’ve never met- waving from upstairs or across the road. So gentle and sweet and strong.
Day 91 Sheltering in place. --BH
