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

There are supposed to be words here, more words than this anyhow.

…

Ok, here’s something. I read this on a social media post this morning, “Anyone else have a hard time getting out of bed this morning?! These Arctic winter temps are not great for a motivational Monday.” No, not having a hard time.

The colder, the windier, the snowier, the more motivation I feel. Is that not the same for everyone else? I thought that’s why people lived up here. Go get your ass kicked by the elements with snot freezing to your face, then the hygge experience multiplies exponentially when back in doors.

Also, play. Snow and winter should bring out the fun. Sliding down a frozen snow covered set of stairs was incredible this morning. I couldn’t stop giggling to myself. Whatever deer and birds were out their listening must have been rolling their eyes as I continue to run up the stairs to do it again and again.

I want everyone to feel exactly what I feel on these -20° windchill mornings. Because I believe it’s good for the soul, that it brings something to life in your spirit.

Daily Fruit dated January 28

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.

Livin' like sugar baby.
The most attraction, the most expression, the most photogenic, a face full of existance and life should not hide.

Teeth marks all over my tongue, ouch.
Picked the bucket up fast, and dumped it out even faster.

Kick the bricks.
I like your face.
I liked it twice, just so you know.

We have enough rules in the world, so I don't get why society insists on making more.
