dailybell: 5/28/23 - 6/4/23

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.

Happy Birthday Bill

June 2, 2023. Sunset 8:26 PM. San Francisco, CA.

Today would have been my brother’s 61st birthday. It’s hard to imagine him as a grey-haired man. Here we are in the summer of 2009 a few months before he passed away. He'd recently celebrated his 47th birthday, and he and my 2 youngest nieces had come out to stay with us to help renovate our bathroom. Bill had a particularly annoying time (using a toothpick) with clearing the mastic between some tiny tiles I'd chosen. I can still hear him muttering under his breath every time I go into the bathroom, and it still makes me laugh.
