The Year is Complete!

Please feel free to look back through the 365 days of 2010 sunrises, but "a year of getting up to meet the day" is officially completed. There will be no more new posts.

PLEASE JOIN ME FOR MORE SUNRISE POSTS AT THE SUNRISE BLOGGER, WHERE YOU WILL FIND SUNRISE PHOTOS AND REFLECTIONS FROM ME AND FROM CONTRIBUTORS AROUND THE GLOBE.


Thank you so much for visiting.
A one year blog project in which I share a process of transitions: emptying of the nest, reacquainting with my rusty intellect, plowing onward with my first full length book, entering the second half of my first century, and generally reflecting on life.

grieving

sunrise:  5:17



This morning I am in a bit of a writing paralysis. 

My extended family lost someone dear yesterday, and I am preoccupied by sadness - my own, my parents', and that of those closest to the loss. 



I wish them all some peace, some rest, some consolation wherever they can find it.  The balm of sleep is a haven, but the re-entry into grief on awakening is rugged.  I ache for their aching hearts.

The sun and the moon will continue to circle the globe, and we will carry on.
