Today I joined people all over the world posting photos of today’s sunrises and sunsets in celebration of Bhagavan Nityananda’s Solar Punyatithi (www.siddhayoga.org). Thanks to Brian for driving with me. We watched as the sun, veiled by clouds, skimmed the tops of the Chugach Mountains and painted the inlet waters flamingo. It was a tender, subtle sunrise. The air was chilly and my hands got cold; I wished I had brought gloves. We are descending into fall, with winter close on its heels!

For sunset, I had lots of company. Folks were lined up along the fence facing Sleeping Lady with their cameras. We were all alone with the beauty, yet also joined in a mutual joy. The force of Nature working her magic upon our common humanity!
