Next Monday
there is a Solar
Eclipse that
will pass over the
United
States of America.
It’s the
first time in 26 years
that it’ll
happen. I think we need
it.
The path of
the eclipse will
pass over 14
States. The Sun will
be blotted
out by the Moon for
varying times,
Southern Illinois
will have
the longest eclipse period
with 2m 44s
of totality.
Meaning the
Moon will cast a
shadow over
Illinois for a full
two minutes
and 44 seconds. And it’ll
be dark.
Dark as night. The total
Celestial event
will last for a full
1h 33m 16.8s.
The event
literally happens at the
speed of
light. It’ll happen no matter
what is
going on down here on Earth.
In fact, the
cosmos doesn’t care
what is
happening on Earth.
The divides
between people,
ideologies,
religions, Nations,
and politics
are all meaningless
compared to
the pure majesty of
nature and
the universe. The
Sun and the
Moon, don’t care.
They don’t
care if you’re Black,
White, Brown,
Yellow, Red, or
every
conceivable color known.
The Sun,
Moon, Stars, just don’t
care. A
great Shadow will traverse
the Globe with or without you.
The bigotry,
hatred, and divisiveness
we heap on
each other on this
insignificant
space body is just dumb
when you get
down to it.
There’s no
point really.
Your perceptions
are not permanent.
So, I really
can’t believe I have
to say it
all again. I’m not sure
how many
times will be enough.
Your beliefs
in one Race, Creed,
Theology, or
superiority is
a waste and
a weight on us all.
As the
shadow of the Moon
passes over
your homes I hope
it’ll help
to show you how small
you are and
how little the universe
cares about
your point of view.
It doesn’t
care about my point of view.
A Country,
cast in shadow for a short time,
a mini Dark
Age, hopefully to emerge bathed
in enlightenment,
about who we are on the
World and
who we want to be in the short
time we
have. Because in the dark,
we’re all
the same.
