dailybell: 12/29/24 - 1/5/25

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.

What happened last year as the year changed over

December 30, 2024 Bisan Owda's passionate and eloquent plea and outrage reminded me of Last New Year's Eve and how much worse it has become--
I'm reposting from New Year's Eve last year and what had started as the usual- head outside at midnight to listen to the change as we cross over the time line from one year to the next- as I realized that the honking was NOT a celebration but a protest.

And where are we now? So far beyond imagining that a procession of cars honking in the middle of the night could have any impact to the horrible reality on the ground now where the only thing people can rely on is the rising of the sun.
