Love this long perspective. Look up from your keyboards, people, and into the sky above!

Thanks, Lynda! I love this slither of shadows snaking across our world for millennia.

The sense of connection to the past/the cosmos is both profound and also just really, really cool.

Cool. I love how space connects us to time. Maybe it's even the same thing! Very cool.

Eclipses are kind of like time vortices, in that they connect us to a chain going back and forth in time. With 42 of these patterns going on in parallel it's bonkers. I like to think of each eclipse as a way to connect to our past and our future... what do we want to remember, what do we want to commit to in the future?

Definitely feeling the push and pull of the time vortices at the moment!

Nothing above a total solar eclipse, Mauara, and I say this as an eclipse follower (ten so far).

The next one will be over Iceland and Spain on August 12, 2026. An excuse to go on that holiday in Spain...;-)

OMG I meant "Maura", of course. Apologies!

Ha ha, no worries Jetse. I never assume malice with a typo.
