I was inspired by the sun dagger at Fejada Butte near or in Chaco Canyon, to paint a sunlight-colored stripe on my sidewalk showing the path of the sun shining between my house and the house next door. It's a narrow gap of about 2-3 inches and the sun can shine through only at this time of year. On June 21 it makes its clearest path at 4:27 p.m. and we gather on the sidewalk to burn sage and honor our relationship to the cycle of the year. Thank you for the photos.
