For me the eclipse evoked a deeper call to trust.
When I look at the world today and it boast's its sophistication and progress, nevertheless, when I observe, when I investigate, I am dubious.
I would suggest that our rituals remain bound to beliefs of the past.
Sure, we may not kill the goats to preserve the harvest, and we may not hurl innocent lives into a fire to liberate the sun from its darkness, but in our modern beliefs, in our modern day perceptual dominance of nature, it is evident that
we continue to limit our minds to the majesty of the bigger/unseen horizon.
Humans are being asked to expand beyond the notions that we can change the tides of life.
So much of our current science is rooted in dominance and the quest to live longer.
As I investigate, it feels more appropriate if we organized and oriented our vision towards a mindset of enjoyment.
We all are aware of the undeniable truth that this journey will come to an end.
Change is the foundation of this living world.
Every child understands this reality, and yet somehow, it feels as if we still believe we can outwit nature.
My invitation, for this reflection, is for us not to despair in the presence of this Truth, but rather step into this reality with and open heart captivated by wonder and awe.
The eclipse is upon us, the sky is dark. Fret not.
Put down the efforts to manipulate the infinite. Rather, step back, settle in and enjoy the dance that is here.
We live in a time of great knowledge.
Let us use this knowledge, not to plunge more deeply into fear and its nature of control.
After all, these are merely antiquated actions of the past, but instead, harness this knowledge to set us free.
Let us use our Science, our investigation, to See that we never had to fear the darkening of the sun, the receding of the tide, nor the fading of form.
Can we arrive at the understanding that energy prevails?
You, at your core are bound, timelessly to this energy.
So much joy to you. Enjoy the spectacle.
