Who watched the eclipse last night?
I was not overly enthused about the notion of dragging my aching ass out of bed at 1:45 in the morning to go out into the cold. But - once in a lifetime! How could I pass that up for something so fleeting as sleep?
1:45 found me in my flannel pjs, with an extra pair of pants over, a hoodie, and my coat, out on the cold concrete with my roommate, faces turned to the sky as the moon turned a coppery red. We made cocoa and watched for almost an hour.
And at that moment all over the world, friends and strangers were under the same sky, faces turned upward, watching this same celestial event with the same awe and wonder.
In this, I see God.
