I watched one of the last sunrises of 2023, and the very first sunrise of 2024, in the course of this past week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(We came too early…) I always think that when we begin to wait for the sun to rise. It’s utterly dark. Even with the palm trees swaying all over, SoCal before dawn at this time of the year is too chilly to be comfortable. And the wind can be relentless at vista points. (When…?) (Where…?) Feelings of uncertainties almost takes over your anticipation with anxiety. (Too many clouds…?) (Is this the right direction….?) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the sun always rises. First, it’s the bird one, joined by another, and more, and more. Then, the darkness begins to melt into the haziness. The edginess in the wind becomes rounder and softer. Then, suddenly, the tip of the sun pierces through. It’s an undeniable energy. From that point to the emergence of the whole sun makes one feel suspended. It’s like you are floating in the music of the spheres. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
