The Daily Sun
A handwritten mantra and valley art in your inbox each morning. Free.

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.

One 365-day project: a unique mantra and painting for each day of the year, still a work in progress. The Sun rises anyway.

A little Sun in every season

There is room in this quiet for an unsettled heart.

The Sun will rise either way. - Scott
