Moon

Full or a sliver

Eclipsed or eclipsing

Generating life.

 

Amazing how a small “dead” rock can have such an amazing impact on the planet, being such a generator of life and the literal ebb and flow of the oceans. It can temporarily eclipse the sun, and at times, the earth returns the favor.

Tonight, there will be a total eclipse of the full moon.  It won’t be visible in North America, but should be amazing in Europe, Australia, and much of Asia. Times and some details are in this article. I’m feeling a little deprived at not seeing this eclipse, but I did get to see the total solar eclipse last summer, which was a remarkable experience.

For all you who will be in the path of tonight’s eclipse, I wish you clear skies and good viewing.

I started this blog, curioussteph.com in 2017, with the intent of exploring both inner and outer curiosities. This was the beginning: By day, I'm a retired family physician turned body-oriented psychotherapist. I garden, travel, am owned by 2 elderly cats, figure skate and am training for my first triathlon. Three years later, the two elderly cats have crossed the rainbow bridge, and we now have an 11 year old adoptee, Ziggy. I'm done with triathlon and skating for the time being, and I am still physically active, running, biking and walking. It's now the time of the coronavirus, which is affecting us all. Coincident with that, my 90 year old father's replacement aortic valve is failing and he is now in hospice care. I anticipate a variety of current writings, and some of the focus may be on how it is now, with a gravely ill parent, and the constraints of covid 19, and how it all hangs together. We shall see.
