Crumbled rock and petroglyphs,
We kept the law but forgot the myth,
So we stare into the dark with no candles lit,

Until the sun comes up over the horizon
The sun over the horizon brings in
A wondrous new year, light of all lights
And bells of brass and silver are ringing when the
The sun comes up over the horizon.

The story goes that the water split,
And the darkest night was the greatest gift,
But somewhere along the line, we went adrift.

Still every year,

The sun comes up over the horizon
The sun over the horizon brings in
A wondrous new year, light of all lights
And bells of brass and silver are ringing when
The sun comes up over the horizon.

And this morning Jessica and I were ringing our bells right at sunrise, 7 am.

With hope and love as the new year dawns.

Happy New Year!

My friend Tina has sustained a quiet and still practice of being with the morning as it stirs. I love this series, and Tina has graciously allowed me to share it--
With hope and love as the new year dawns
- Brenda

from Tina-
Sending you dark-to-light time greetings and love.
Here are some sunrises from my homelands, where I was from August until Dec 15. Every morning I did a pre-dawn walk along the lake (Rainy Lake), sometimes taking photos of the sunrise.
These are from some mornings November and December when I had either my cell phone or small Canon or both. I always thought of you and imagined bells across the lands.
Sorry no sounds, just listening
