Fuel the Sunrises

Looking for more ways to support this crazy project? You can always add a cup of coffee to keep me going strong in the mornings, or a tank of gas to get me to some new places.

Every once in a great while I send out a newsletter with sunrise updates, life stories, project developments, and various shenanigans. I'd love to share these with you and will respect your inbox.

Blah Blah Blah

Musings | 60 words

Is this even a sunrise photo? Does it matter if I choose not to face the sun and the horizon? I knew what it was, so I sought a bridge to hide beneath to keep my camera dry from the rain.

I still wonder, how long can inspiration last? For how many consecutive days can a single person feel inspired?

Daily Fruit dated May 19

Daily Fruit was a daily journal I kept from October 2001 through July 2015. The idea was "a few words a day keeps the psychiatrist away". Not sure that worked, but it was an incredibly healthy practice. They are meant to be read for face value.

Essentially, I'm embarrassed this is here. But you know, vulnerability and stuff.

The patience. the living. the moving on. today i learn more about love. from a simple biography. a true story. and after years of divorce love has still grown becuase it was true. and all was well. they shall live happily ever after.

100 for 3. it's a gift isn't it. maybe in the middle of all that storm i talk. in all that storm is a little pocket where you can fit perfectly. it's a jello blanket. work hard, volunteer, it'll pay off.
2004
Evidence of an evil world is all around us.
Ridiculoso.
Social pollution...it's not the only kind of pollution in our cities.
Buggy huggies for all.
2005
Rainy days and ice cream are a match made in heaven.
2006
All the pickles are lining up in a neat little row.
2007
The tomato potato guy.
Atlanta takes a hit from kristin, the world gets a thumbs up, and the brain starts ticking.
2009
Filling time and poking boundaries.
2010
I wish I hadn't stuck it, cuz then I could still stick it.
2011
I'm glad the world is small.
2012
Being overly forgiving has made so many things better in my life.
Now with less fat.
With all my imaginary friends.
Helping people rediscover their roots.
2013
People always ask about big summer plans, I wish they asked about big winter plans too.
2014
Do more nature.
2015
Confidence is on the rise, confidence is on the decline.
Every sailor sees a few rough seas.
