Time,
if not life, is not measured in calendar days or minutes and hours,
it is measured in memories. Events. Yesterday was one of those life
event days that take the yardstick of a lifetime and put a great big
huge tick mark on that ruler.
I was one of those people who said he would not drive ten minutes to see a total eclipse. I just did not think it would be that big of a deal. I was completely, totally, utterly wrong.
For approximately two minutes and 20 seconds, I
experienced a magical event, one where reality seem to change around
me. At the very instant of totality, I saw something amazing. I've
noticed a few people on Facebook have described it as seeing snakes.
The three tubes I saw were the most intense and brilliant shades of
red, green, and blue--- all discrete in three bright bands. Not
everyone saw that.
