Today's Sunrise-Not Over the Newly Decorated Life Guard Stand and the Malibu Pier

The most unrealistic person in the world is the cynic, not the dreamer. Hope only makes sense when it doesn’t make sense to be hopeful. This is your century. Take it and run as if your life depends on it. …From commencement address by Paul Hawken
6:14 Starbucks Cross Creek Wow, I’m in Malibu. Just hit me all of a sudden. Paradise. Misty paradise but paradise nonetheless. It’s cool in here yet personally I’m starting to sweat. Guess this shirt is too warm after all. OK Transition. Not interesting. Not higher ground. Mundane and human. No music yet. Lots of early surfers. Aye aye aye, a woman came in saying “It’s so quiet in here…” and has been running her mouth non-stop ever since. Lots of egret activity in the trees outside. Ah, she’s gone. Quiet resumes. Just me and the baristas, one of whom says “Turn the music on.”   Sunrise is so early. About as early as it’s going to get, which is 5:40AM on Saturday.
