This is so lovely, Melissa. I keep thinking about the ways people were so enthralled with this event, so beyond any excitement I’ve seen about an event of nature in a long time. I wonder if we are all just aching for mystery and beauty and wonder and the connections that come with those? There are opportunities for each of these in the much smaller wonders of our daily lives. Maybe we’ll start looking for more of those too. 🦋🌼🌺

I love this, Melissa! I, too, enjoyed that sense of communal awe and wonder during the eclipse. Everyone was happy and relaxed, sharing something special together. We do need more of that!

Gosh. All of this. Such majesty. I enjoyed the eclipse during work as well and it really jumbled the context of different groups all sharing in the awe. A friend suggested Spain for totality in 2026 and that sounds amazing.
