As of today, only 737 sunrises left to publish. This morning at Shiras Park was the first morning of the season wearing shorts at sunrise and concludes forty-one consecutive months without missing a sunrise.
This has been a difficult week. And before this news broke I had already been writing about the drowning feeling of defeat, struggling to figure out how to thrive while going it alone.
Before there, it writing a big list of items that began with “If only…” As I reflect on this project, I want it to become more transparent, about mental health, adversity, the struggle of being a full-time artist, and so forth. Very much like sunrises, to not only present the good, beautiful, easy mornings.
A not entirely arbitrary score of this drop: 3.1/10
