Day 75 SUN!!

So the weather has continued to be awful...I have probably gotten about 30 total minutes in the last 6 weeks! Booooooo!

BUT, this morning I was able to get a solid 15 minutes in from my porch :D.  That was awesome!  The fact that the trees have lost about 75% of their leaves in my front yard definitely contributes.  The other lovely new discovery has been that due to the shortened days...I was actually able to get about 5min of Sun SET last night.  On a random walk with the dogs I looked up at the sun about 6:25 ish, and noticed that I could look almost directly at it.  I ended up looking just about 3 or 4 degrees East and West of it and felt very comfortable.  So it is occurring to me that I should be able to get some decent Sunset Sun in the next month or so.

It's just interesting to me that the quality of the Sun is so different now!  Maybe it is b/c the weather totally interrupted my momentum, but it seems like the 'delicious' is still there...but not the vitamins that I sensed back in August.  Maybe they will show up in the Sunset instead.  That's what I am thinking. : )

Regardless, the urge to do it remains the same, and I still feel like my hormones... mood swings, aggravation, crankiness...have all taken a back seat.  Before I started Sungazing, I can assure you I would periodically go through FITS of depression and aggravation...lol :P  Oh yeah, that was GRRRReat.  I thought to myself...wth??  I finally get to a place where I am comfortable with myself and my body turns on me??  Noooooooh.  That's not possible.
My health and fitness have always ruled the roost.  It has gotten me out of some pretty deep holes, ended bad relationships, and basically it has been the filter through which all of my other interests have been distilled.  So, I thought, no way...lol... there has to be a mechanism for this.  It is a litmus test to a certain degree, no?

Consequently, the first second I heard about Sungazing...rather, saw the documentary 'Eat the Sun'... it clicked.  I thought, EXACTLY.  Reading about it, and other ppl's Blogs, the science of the Eye and Pineal Gland, Photo-receptor activity, etc., confirmed a physiological process I thought reasonable.  Now off to collect some empirical data...lol.

Here we are, 70+ days in and I feel like I have just scratched the surface of a tremendous adventure.  I deeply aspire to be a better friend and co-worker; to recognize when I am stepping in it b/c of past learned behaviors, so I can CHANGE the way I do business when it becomes a dance instead of a dialogue.  You're morphing or your dying they say.  I believe that Sungazing is a process that achieves just that, new movement.
