Your place in the Sun

The Sun shows up every day. I figured we could too. No meetings, just a little Sun to start the day.

Each morning, I send a short mantra, Heber Valley art, and that day's sunrise and sunset times. Some paintings are AI-generated. Some come from local artists like Natalie Paul. Different hands, same valley.

It is one 365-day project: a unique mantra and painting for each day of the year. Still a work in progress. The mantras are sincere, the art is a mix. The Sun rises anyway.

A little Sun in every season

Spring

Spring-green trees and clear water along the Provo River below snowy peaks

Where the water meets the land, life gathers softly.

Summer

Round hay bales in a golden Heber Valley field at sunrise

I look for beauty without needing to own it.

Fall

Golden autumn trees beside the Heber Valley rail trail at sunrise

I begin this day in gratitude.

Winter

Painting of a still pond, snow, bare trees and pastel mountain peaks in the Heber Valley

There is room in this quiet for an unsettled heart.

Where should we find you?

The Sun will rise either way. - Scott
