Goodbye Nick
August 12, 2017. Sunset 8:04 PM.
Berkeley, CA.
After an afternoon of stories, songs and incredible tenderness, we all say goodbye to Nick Bertoni. Anyone who knew Nick might not recognize the super cleared up Tinkers Workshop where we are gathered. I count myself among those who were honored to have spent time with Nick and were touched by his generosity and huge heart.

Most Joyful Noise-- Garden of Memory Solstice Celebration 2017
June 21, 2017. Sunset 8:34 PM.
Chapel of the Chimes. Oakland, CA.
The most amazing dailybell solstice so far-- this year's sunset bell ringing is the 10th performance at the annual 'Garden of Memory' event at the Chapel of the Chimes in Oakland. The Garden of Memory is curated by Sarah Cahill and populated by 1000's of people who come to share the Solstice with fabulous performances in such a beautiful and unique place.
Blessings and kudos to all who participated with the Cardew Choir in the 4 hour performance of Pauline Oliveros' 'Heart Chant'. The vocal sound and energy was so contagious it spread throughout the crowd. It was magical. Thank you all
Many thanks to Jenny Holland, Miriam Jacobs, Liz Keim, Wendy Reid and Betsey Willson for their help talking with people and distributing invitations and bells. And thank you Jesse Budel for documenting the performance. (Anyone interested in the entire 20 minute experience can see his piece on vimeo)

Norman was in New York, and he and I were checking in on the phone as the sun was setting. It was such a beautiful site, I just wanted to share it with him. So I snapped the photo and sent it along right away. Two sunsets for him.

For IONE and Pauline
7 June 17 sunset La Selva Beach, CA. 8:25 PM
We decided that this sunset sounding on Wed. 7 June was the better video to send. It's just Una Nakamura, Suzanne Parkhurst, and me in honor of Ione and Pauline. It was recorded at La Selva Beach, CA (near Aptos).

Longitude vs Latitude?
Driving from New York to Montreal for the Still Listening celebration in honor of Pauline Oliveros, I stopped a few times overnight to visit with friends.
It was interesting to figure out the degree of influence in terms of position (north/south vs east/west) on the sunset times—degrees of longitude vs latitude.
As it turns out, in Upstate NY, our position in the time zone (Longitude) is a more significant factor than how far North we are.
Anyway, I love how late the sun sets at this time of year and look forward to a few more weeks before we head back the other way.

I thought my mother was pretty old when she died
March 30, 2017. Sunrise 6:57 AM.
San Francisco, CA.
This would have been my mother’s 84th birthday. When I consider that this year, I will be the same age that she was when she died, I am shocked at how “not finished yet” I feel. I wonder if that’s usually true, regardless of how long you’ve been alive.
Happy Birthday Mom. I miss you.

San Francisco (AM). Oakland (PM)
What I had thought was little bug I picked up in India was actually pneumonia- from which I am recovering (along with a broken rib for my coughing efforts). I’m feeling much better and am especially happy to mark and share this occasion.
For those of us North of the equator, we’ve already had the pleasure of the day of equal light / equal darkness and are now tipped towards the light. Here’s this year’s Equilux offering from the San Francisco Bay Area.

Bell Not Necessary- 2017 Challenge
General Invitation-- Please pass this along to anyone you think might enjoy doing this. 1- Pick a month and curate an event (public or private). Pick one day during your chosen month and plan an event for a group observation and performance to accompany either the sunrise and/or sunset. It does not need to be limited to the ringing of bells. As long as the purpose of the event is to witness and/or celebrate and share as a group the beginning or ending of a new day, anything goes. OR 2- Add a sunrise/ sunset observance to the beginning or end of an event or series of events that you are already involved with. The sun sets around 8:00 PM in the late Spring and early Fall. Logistically, it wouldn’t be difficult to include an invitation to participate in a performance of the dailybell. I would be happy to provide information about the project, a cheap source of bells to have on hand and anything other support you would like. OR 3- Research and report on an existing tradition- Find an existing tradition of sunrise and/or sunset observation in your area (geographical or area of interest) and approach them or report on their activity. Perhaps you could organize a tandem event or even join the group in their (celebration). Many religions mark the times of day through group performance and/or prayer. And as you well know, the Solstices and Equinoxes are favorite times for people to engage in (some kind of observation). AND No matter what you decide to do, please be willing to document and share your event in some way-
Thank you Alyce-- perfect
Last sunset of 2016 in Alpine, TX. 6:04 PM - from Alyce Santoro I was outside capturing the sun setting - with bell, of course! - on the last day of 2016! I can't tell you how many times I THOUGHT of ringing the bell at sunrise or sunset, or didn't get satisfactory documentation!! It was my MISSION not to let 2016 slip by without a single documented ringing...alas, I am without good wi-if at the moment and uploading the evidence will have to wait until tomorrow!
