I managed to get to high ground. There were lots of clouds but it poked through from time to time. Towards the end of it the clouds cleared and it had a decent showing. I've seen more clear ones in the past though. Fing clouds.
It is amazing how it appears though. Its like it transforms into something other than the moon. It becomes 3D. A glowing orb or rock hanging in the sky. A giant rocky ping pong ball. A glowing ember. I can see someone not knowing whats going on and walking outside and seeing it and going, what the fuck is that? Mars? Its kind of like the first time you see something with the help of magic mushrooms, not that I would know or anything...
Always resets my soul in some celestial way. I've always been into astronomy and the heavens. Nights like tonight are wonderful because they serve as a reminder to you that no matter what is going on in your life, there are these other events going on outside of you and this life we all live, that will continue on with or without you forever. Puts things into perspective for me. I think people who are having issues should go find a quiet hilltop somewhere in this world and watch an eclipse or just watch the sky for a night.
