Something wild will cause the sun to disappear from view across a swath of the world from China to Texas.
We cut a quick path to a telescope store to get the last safe viewing glasses on the West coast this morning. Then relaxed at Fisherman’s Wharf. It helps to remember life is good even in the face of the impending darkness caused by the:

Whether or not you can see it you will feel it.
Pause to look behind and ask yourself.
What happened 19 years ago?
It may be circling back around asking you to be finished or take the next step? Also it’s a good time to set intentions to transcend apparent polarities.
That which is lurking in the dark shadows
may be reviled, if only for an instant.
On the other hand you may learn the lesson of
how much you appreciate something until it is gone, if only for an instant.
Happy viewing or observing. Please take care of your vision.
Thanks for the great photos. The one of the moon’s shadow from space is spectacular. We could not see the eclipse in this part of the country, but are looking forward to the transit of Venus in June. The mixture of “myth and meaning” is interesting – good to know both. I’ll put in a vote for Charles de Lint – modern fantasy writing – worth a look.
On my way to library to look up Charles de Lint, thank you. I think that picture of the Moon Shadow is from APOD Astronomy Picture of the Day a very addictive web site. It seems like science fiction but it’s not. You might like it. Thanks for your visits Anne 🙂
Well, no chance to see the eclipse here in Oklahoma. Was very cloudy all day. Not a drop of rain though. When I was still working we would get several camera filters out of the darkroom and put them together and could view the eclipse that way without any damage to our eyes. Always enjoyed that.
I hope you see today’s post with my story about the eclipse. We were careful with our eyes. Camera filters interesting idea. It’s cloudy today I’m glad the eclipse was yesterday.
