was the 13th year in an ongoing project, dedicated to the observation of the sun at every crossing of the horizon and to sharing the awareness of that moment with others (i.e. ring a bell). This year's invitation was for others to witness and share a sunrise or sunset each month. With the onset of covid19, came the mandate to shelter in place. Knowing that we would be at home each evening, we decided to ring a LOUD bell every sunset, marking the day's end to anyone within earshot.

Ragtag Crow Medicine
March 22, 2020. Sunrise 7:09 AM. Sunset 7:24 PM.
Berkeley, CA.
Here is the poem: for Sunrise & sunset March 22nd -
Ragtag Crow Medicine
Cawing, cawing…
Sky lightens
Dips & dives, they flock
North – East
Hundreds in
Tattered & dedicated pursuit
Back to ancients
I their witness
My heart
Soars.
Repeating their course
South – West
Followers of the sun
Into blackness –
Deep, deep peace
Eternal rhythms
My heart
Softens
Delight & awe
I a speck of it all
FREE!
