A short mantra, Heber Valley art, and sunrise times in your inbox each morning.

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

A walker on the autumn 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.
