SUNDIALS IN THE MIDST OF TURBULENCE

In the midst of automation and world-wide turbulence a small number of people will meet in Denver Colorado to see Sundials. They are part of a smaller number of men and women who are members of the North American Sundial Society which meets annually. The Society's membership is made up of men and women of all ages and includes medical and professional business people, naturalists and educators and even families. During the Society's 3-day Conference participants will tour local  Sundials of historical interest.

I attended the 25th Annual Conference held last year in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Conference tour included sites which gave us a glimpse of the way people measured and recorded change through Sundials which became a part of that city's history.

The Society's 2019 Conference will be held in Denver, Colorado in June at a time when our country is in great natural and man-made turbulence. Perhaps touring and measuring Sundials will once again help us better understand how to cope with human and planetary movement that sometimes appears uncontrollable.

SKY WATCH MARCH 2019

This night, the eleventh of March

She comes out from hiding

The sky is crystal clear, not a cloud intrudes

Winds turn soft almost murmuring as if to acknowledge 

Even a slice of moon delights us and tells us Spring is on the way!
