DAY 1: 10 Seconds of Gazing
The gazing finally begins. Brett and I raced to the top of the canyon again this morning but I was feeling more settled and at peace because we knew exactly where to park and exactly where to stand due to our dress rehearsal during our dry run two days ago. The sun was set to […]
FINAL PREPARATION: 12 Seconds of Gazing
Today Brett & I decided to keep the momentum from yesterday alive and do another pre-”day one” day of sun gazing. But we wanted to explore other vistas. So upon the advice of his teacher we headed for Beachwood Canyon, which is aptly named, because despite how high we climbed, the mountain in front of […]
THE DRY RUN: 15 SECONDS of GAZING
Brett and I decided to do a “dry run” today so that we could make sure to find a good spot at the top of the canyon to observe the rising disc, and also to time out the drive from the morning yoga & chanting session to the canyon. The first official day of Sun-Gazing […]
Why This?
A blog on Sun-Gazing, what the hell is that? Sounds like some hippie shit, right? Well that’s more or less right, but now it’s hippie shit backed by NASA.

Addicted to the Climb (Debauchery Lane)
I’m way up ahead, on Debauchery Lane With snow lined surroundings that make me insane Crush the fine powder under my feet as I march ever higher, I can’t be beat I come to a peak on the rich rolling hills Dance in the grass, then move on to pills I’m reaching the crest I […]
The Latch Key Life
I wake up daily divided deeply disturbed by both the ease of my life and its listless lack of learning I long to live in love but have not seen such and know not how
Glass Bones
Ebony skin hangs on thin glass bones. As the boys dance I marvel that ankles don’t shatter. Can I have one copper penny is the homeless man’s serenade? And I hum louder, walking by. If I see poverty’s eyes in the man… or the glass boys or the millions of starving dots… then I am […]
Adhesive Residue
My screws are loose And my sanity has been Re-attached so many times with masking tape That my skin burns and becomes rigid From adhesive residue and rejection Madness strips the grooves off of boltsMaking my fingers And my expectations Fall to the floor in a crash And my eyelids flake off And I stare […]
