Golden Morning
Through a looking glass. The view sure is different from in here.

Unexpected
Owl and Moon
Over the last few months I built a lowpoly art generator to create this kind of look for a kids book project I’m working on. The unexpected nature of the results really speaks to the awe and delight I try for in all that I do. Great start to 2021.
Moonrise December 30, 2020
Nature has a way of making us stop and pay attention. It cures whatcails you. Last night’s moonrise accomplished that. In 2021, let’s allow that even more.
Cold Moon
For all the ups and downs this year, 2020 at least brought us a bonus 13th Full Moon, the Cold Moon. Always something to look forward to.
What will you look forward to in the new year?
Hidden in Plain Sight
Generally we focus on the most dazzling overlooking some of the most talented, most interesting, most complete and long-lasting aspects of a moment.
What detail or person are you overlooking?
Beauty in the moment
Have you ever noticed that first moment of perception is the clearest? When you see the sunrise or sunset, first walk into a beautiful garden, you are splashed by spray from a waterfall. There is joy and delight in that moment. But we tend not to stay long. We start wondering about the time, or the weather, our chores for the day. Our moment fades away. The clear perception of life at its best slips.
In the next few days, linger in that clear perception especially with your loved ones.
Orion
If you know.the basic shape of the constellation Orion, you should be able to make it out in these startrails. We forget sometimes how crystal clear living in now is. The past is a smear of memories. Future not quite available for view.
Make every single day this week your single focus.
Bright
These meteors roared through Earth’s atmosphere and blazed for just a second. They waited eons to do so. They reached their full potential at the perfect moment. Together, some seem brighter but in their individual moment they were bright enough to be noticed.
This season blaze bright.
Spirit
Spirit moves through the land like a wind through the trees. It wears down the mountains and sits in a cold mountain lake. It surrounds us. We sense it in every way. It is nothing and everything and holds us up in the toughest of times.
Make a place for Spirit. How will it move with you today?
Center
I struggled with dream self last night. He clearly thinks I’m doing this wrong; that I’m an imposter. My waking self is trying to cut him some slack. What was nice is that dream self literally left a door open when he left (it was actually a window) offering a different path or a compromise. Usually I’m pretty centered day and night. The perfect thing to meditate on today.
Are you centered?
A Geminid, and a few other meteors, streak through a 650 image stack Sunday night. The Geminids continue to dazzle.
