25,000 LED lights blink and dance, strung along the network of suspension cables

that help keep traffic flowing across the Oakland Bay Bridge. The lights cascade and wink, answering to the rhythms and patterns created by artist Leo Villarreal.

As a child, gazing at the stars and thumbing through National Geographic always provided a necessary

escape from an unwavering sensation of being trapped. Trapped by less-than-favorable circumstances in my family, trapped by being constantly teased at school, trapped by my own small yet rapidly obsessive and chattering mind. After the magazine's stories of far-away people and habitats and scientific space material had been devoured, I'd sprawl across a sleeping bag in the dry summer lawn of my rural childhood home, staring up at the vast sky with its pinpricks of stars, streaming satellites and meteors streaking through the atmosphere. Attempting to comprehend just how far away, and just how old, the stars were unraveled everything inside of me in the best of ways.

When the doctor came in and began talking about worrisome things, it was like being startled awake from a pleasant dream.

For almost an hour we’d been hypnotized by the kaleidoscopic black-and-white images of our unborn child, featured on a screen above the hospital bed. The small room was dark and warm and permeated by the soft drone of electronics. The technician moved her wand across Desiree’s belly and from time-to-time re-applied the ultrasound gel.
