These types of events are a good chance to reflect on your time on earth, where you've been, and where you are yet to go.
The next time this will happen in 2024. I am thinking today about what I'm doing with my life now, what I might be doing with my life then, assuming I'll even be here in 6 years.
In a few short days those who knew and loved Ken Snow will experience the anniversary of his passing. That such a truly good human being was lost so quickly, when he should be here to witness this eclipse, and the next, fills me with sorrow.
Better than the eclipse will be its ending, and the symbol it can be for new beginnings.
