∴ in umbral track, i tarry
where moon and sun meld in perfect union |
witness swift transfiguration of this realm |
my eyes ascend to haloed sun
enveloped in tranquil sorcery
parched, i absorb ethereal luminescence
into the depths of my being
in cathartic light
surrendered
shedding layers of shadowed hesitation
a seeker’s path in wisdom’s rays ∴1
- Reflecting on the North American eclipse on April 8, 2024, it was at 1:59 PM CST, and it lasted a solid 3 minutes and 44 seconds right where I was. I feel grateful to have been there for it and hope you were able to experience it too. This puts me just shy of 10 solar eclipses in totality witnessed, maybe around 25 solar eclipses or so in total. Lunar eclipses? Ha, couldn’t say. I’d take a wild guess at around 50, but who knows? Maybe I’ll dig into it one rainy day. Anyway, not bad for someone who’s not an eclipse chaser but doesn’t hesitate when there is an opportunity. Nope, never will. ↩︎
