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.

Standard Time RIP
March 7, 2020. Sunset 6:09 PM.
San Francisco, CA.
Until we meet again in the fall-- Disrupting our sense of cycles and continuity once again. We can opt out of this change and remain in Standard Time- it's the law of the land! Arizona and Hawaii are already hanging in there.
However, if we want to stay with Daylight Savings Time, it's a bit more difficult to change. Also, not the better option if you think about going to work in the dark at 8:00 in the winter. Or as a state or Nation that we would be more out of sync with the rest of world-- An hour ahead for more than half the year.
Ach-- at least remember to jump ahead tonight so as not to be late for anything tomorrow.
