Driving from New York to Montreal for the Still Listening celebration in honor of Pauline Oliveros, I stopped a few times overnight to visit with friends.
It was interesting to figure out the degree of influence in terms of position (north/south vs east/west) on the sunset times—degrees of longitude vs latitude.
As it turns out, in Upstate NY, our position in the time zone (Longitude) is a more significant factor than how far North we are.
Anyway, I love how late the sun sets at this time of year and look forward to a few more weeks before we head back the other way.

Connection through mutual awareness and observation of the immutable as a reminder that some truths are not relative and that we are not alone is at the heart of dailybell. This year, I invite people to make personal, specific commitments to the project and to growing the community. Curate events, include a sun observance into an already existing public event, or research practices that incorporate ritual observance of the sun. AND please document and share your activity in some way.
Here We Go Again
