Waiting for that streetlight to come on. It’s erratic and hard to predict but everyone once in a while it lights up the bell.

Four Seattle Sunrises, July 21-24

"If you cannot travel, journey inwards". So said my friend before she went into retreat. I followed soon after. Meditation mornings. Listening to crows and hummingbirds busy at dawn. Sitting. Contemplating. And then, I heard. Slinking quietly, I saw. Staring back at me, with massive eyes. A coyote.

It’s been a pretty solitary experience out here lately. So it was such pleasant and welcome surprise when Bernie and Mardi glided in at the last minute!

Day 123 our evening routine

July 22, 2020. Sunset 8:26.
San Francisco, CA.

Our evening routine. The BIRD seems to be on her own schedule—We may have passed through her schedule and are now coming out too early to join her for her set. Or we get to be the warm up band for the White Throated Sparrow.

Day 122 ride around the sun

July 21, 2020. Sunset 8:27 (again).
San Francisco, CA.

Another cool, dreary evening. The slow seeping of light from the day. Clouds, fog, the ride around the sun.

There goes the sun

July 20, 2020. Sunset 7:59 PM.
Newport Beach, CA.

Close to the sunset at the Crystal Cove Trader Joe's parking lot on the Pacific Coast Highway. The sun sets 1/2 hour earlier down there.

Day 121 inside outside

July 20, 2020. Sunset 8:27.
San Francisco, CA.

In case you were wondering how cold it is here on a typical summer’s day, we don’t even open the windows in the house. Otherwise, I’d be wearing a coat over my sweater and long underwear. Just like like outdoors.
More business as usual—the sun set a minute earlier than last night. The BIRD was nowhere to be heard. Empty streets this evening.

July 19, 2020. Sunset 8:28.
