Experiencing Totality

Nasaeclipse13nov2012

I knew the total solar eclipse would be magnificent. I expected it to be an extraordinary natural phenomena. I thought it would be wonderful to watch.

And it was all of this.

But it was also more!

There was this magic moment. This brief moment when the moon entirely covers the sun. The moment of Totality.

Suddenly, everything changes so dramatically.

When the last ray of sun disappears behind the moon, darkness suddenly descends on Earth. And at this very moment something stunning happens. The ring of fire appears around the moon. The sun corona, the diamond ring. This ring is not visible when the eclipse is still partial. It only appears at the exact moment of Totality. Suddenly, the moon appears as a black circle in the middle of the sky surrounded by a ring of fire, and like a fiery cosmic eye, it reigns supreme in a moment when time seems to stop, with sublime glory and stunning beauty.

When Totality hits… the whole world suddenly and magically shivers..

It’s extraordinarily dramatic. Climactic. Epic. Euphoric.

Totally overwhelming. Awe-inspiring. Goosebumping. Tear-giving. Hypnotising.

A luminous moment of eternity. A glimpse of creation. A cosmic orgasm.

When Totality passed, everything felt so suddenly calm and peaceful. I was speechless.

And it left me intoxicated.

Attempting to make sense of it. Struggling to rationally comprehend.

What was that ?? What has happened??

I honestly still don’t know.

But it was real. And it was big.

We experienced it. In a glimpse, we saw it. In a flash, we felt it.

An awakening to life’s wonder

A pull towards a different dimension.

An ascent out of time and space

A taste of the divine.

A sip of ecstacy.

I am honestly still shaken.. enchanted..

And I know this day will forever live in me..

To remind me, in my moments of doubt..

That life is sublimely magic!

——–

And to all the beautiful people I met in this mountain in Palu

And to all my friends and beloved ones

To the Power that moves the sun and the moon, and that beats the heart in my own chest

Thank you for all the blessings you bring to my life

I love you all!
