It's going to be biblical 👇

The only conclusion here is: AMERICA....REPENT!

Think the coming eclipse is nothing? I did, too, until I discovered all these FACTS!

I don't claim to know what all of this means, exactly, but I believe it's important enough for all of us to be aware that this is happening and pray for wisdom.

On April 8th, 2024, there will be an eclipse. One eclipse is already amazing but this one is actually the last in a 3-part series that has SO much meaning behind it. It is important that we recognize that God said that He would use the sun, moon and stars to communicate with us:

Genesis 1:14- "Then God said, 'Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years..."

Luke 21:25 - "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea."

So now we know that God said that He would use the sun, moon and stars to communicate with us, so let's break down this 3-part eclipse series:

1) With the path of this last eclipse, combined with the first 2 eclipses (one in 2017 and the other in 2023), it will create the Hebrew letter over America that is "Aleph Tav" and in Greek it is the "Alpha and Omega" - both means "The beginning and the end." God said in Revelation 21:6 that He is the beginning and the end and this Aleph Tav is like His signature. Why would He use an eclipse to put His signature over America? Let's dig deeper:

2) God has used eclipses to warn nations of coming judgement so that the nation can repent of their sinful ways and come back to Him. This happened with the story of Ninevah. God told Jonah to go to the wicked nation of Ninevah and warn them about coming judgement. Jonah ran away from the assignment and while out at sea got swallowed up by a huge fish and was in its belly for 3 days. Jonah repented of running away so the whale spit him up. He then went to Ninevah and warned the people but there was something that also happened while he was warning the people...an eclipse came over the land.

In the 19th century, ancient tablets were discovered that described an eclipse called the Bur-Sagale eclipse where the totality of the eclipse landed right over Ninevah while Jonah was there preaching of the 40 day warning before the coming destruction. Because of this, the people realized that this was a sign from God that what Jonah was saying was true and they repented and God spared their nation.

It is amazing how much America mirrors Ninevah. (If you don't see it, you may be part of the problem.) To make this even more clear, this last eclipse on April 8th will be going over 7 cities here in America called - yep you guessed it - NINEVAH! I honestly didn't even know that we had any city here in the U.S. named that but here we are - with this eclipse going over these cities (and there will be an 8th one that it goes over also called Ninevah in Canada.)

Here are the cities: 👇

Nineveh, Texas

Nineveh, Missouri

Nineveh, Indiana (this will be the highest magnitude of eclipse Mag 1.023, the local time predicted for it to occur is at 3:07 PM)

Nineveh, Ohio

Nineveh, Pennsylvania

Nineveh, Virginia

Nineveh, New York

Nineveh, Nova Scotia (Not in the US)

Could this be that God is warning us just as He warned Ninevah? There have been many "Jonahs" in the past few years warning the nation that we need to repent and add in this sign above our heads - we can't turn away from the fact that it is not a coincidence. But if you need more proof, let's keep going...

The first part of this 3 part eclipse series was in 2017. The path of that eclipse went over 7 cities named Salem, which is short for Jerusalem (Ps. 76).

Salem, Oregon

Salem, Idaho

Salem, Wyoming

Salem, Nebraska

Salem, Missouri

Salem, Kentucky

Salem, South Carolina

The mathematical "chances" of there being 7 Salem's with the first eclipse and then 7 Ninevah's for the 3rd eclipse is unthinkable. But what about the 2nd part of the eclipse?

4) Perhaps the most striking piece of the 2nd eclipse is that the precise center-line of eclipse path exits the USA directly over Corpus Christi. Corpus Christi means the "Body of Christ" and is one of the only towns named that in the world!

But let's go back to this upcoming eclipse and dig even deeper...

4) Jonah was giving a 40 day warning to Ninevah during the eclipse. If you look at our April 8th eclipse and fast forward 40 days then you will get to May 18, 2024 - the day before Pentecost. The history of Pentecost is that is the last Spring Feast that the Lord has given us (there are 4 in the Spring and 3 in the Fall). This is the day that the Lord sent the Holy Spirit down to all those who have accepted Christ. We are told that the "Restrainer" (many believe this is the Holy Spirit) will be removed before the Tribulation could it be that this is a warning for that? I'm not sure as that is a worldwide event and this eclipse will be just over North America but it is something definitely to think and pray about for more clarity and wisdom. No matter what, there are too many things lining up for it to not be nothing and so my job is to get the information out to you all so that you can at least be aware of these signs that God is giving us so that you can pray about it.

But let's keep going...

5) From the start of this 3 part eclipse to the end, it will be 7 years. God uses numbers a lot to communicate with us, and 7 has a ton of meaning. A few examples are - He created the world in 7 days, there will be a 7 year tribulation, 7 is used for completion, etc.

) Going back to how this correlates with Jonah & Ninevah's story -at the time of this eclipse, there will be another sign in the sky...it will take place under the constellation, Cetus, which is the whale constellation! And not only will it pass through the 8 cities in North America named Ninevah, it will also pass through Jonah, Texas! Speaking of other towns that it will pass through, these are some of the other city names that it will go right over:

Rapture, Indiana

Williamston, Kentucky - this is where the Ark Encounter is located. The Ark Encounter is a full size replica of Noah's Ark.

Eagle Pass, Texas - where we are having so many border issues.

And the point where it crosses the 2017 eclipse to mark the center of the X is an area in southern Illinois called Little Egypt. What is even more fascinating about this is that Little Egypt is sandwiched in between 2 other cities called Alpha, Kentucky and Omega, Illinois - both having the 2017 eclipse come over their cities. Furthermore, the intersection of the 2017 and 2024 solar eclipses occurs directly over the New Madrid Fault Line, a major seismic zone. An earthquake along this fault line could potentially destroy the U.S., making it one of the most perilous fault lines in the country. I have no idea if this will happen or not, but there are too many things here that are all literally lining up to not share with everyone.

7) One more interesting fact is that there are 2,422 days in between the 2017 eclipse and the 2024 eclipse. If you look up 2422 in Strong's Concordance, an Bible concordance that has every word of the KJV, takes us to Exodus 1:19 which says,

"The midwives answered Pharaoh, "Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women; they are vigorous and give birth before the midwives arrive."

Why would this be of any significance? Well, to me, it reminds me of how Jesus said that His return would be like a woman in labor with the signs of His coming growing stronger and closer together. We are at a point in history where we are seeing all of the signs that He gave us happening before our eyes. In fact, we are even seeing things that will happen during the tribulation get setup now. If we are seeing those things being setup now, that must mean that we are super close to it actually happening. Going back to God saying that He uses the sun, moon and stars to show us signs - and then Jesus saying that the signs of His coming will be like a woman in labor, well this information leading us back to Exodus 1:19 explaining that the Hebrew women have labor fast is so interesting to me! Could we be on the brink of the rapture and tribulation!? I don't know exactly when it will happen but Jesus did tell us that we would know the season and I do believe that we have been in that season for the past few years and are pushing closer and closer to it!

It is no secret that this world has gone mad and everyone knows that there is something happening behind the scenes that feels really uncomfortable. If you have that feeling, you are right! There is a major push for things to happen that were predicted to happen over 2,000 years ago. Most people seek their understanding in the wrong place though. They look to the news and the world to guide them; however, these sources will only bring more questions, not answers. It causes people to live in fear, anxiety and depression. However, Jesus didn't want us to live that way. He gave us the information so that we would know what is happening when we see these things. The first piece of living in His knowledge is accepting that God sent His son, Jesus, to die for our sins and on the 3rd day, Jesus rose from the grave and conquered death. The second piece is to repent to God of your sins and turn away from your sins. Most churches only teach how God loves you but don't teach repentance anymore and that is a HUGE part of your faith. Jesus said that there will be many who come to Him and say, "Lord, Lord, I knew you." But because they didn't repent of their sins and seek Jesus' ways instead of their own, He will reply, "Get away from me, I never knew you." We cannot just live however we want without any consequences. Even little children understand this concept, but it has been lost on most adults. This is why Ninevah was going to see destruction - because they were a self- serving, sinful nation - just like America is today. You can't change the heart of this nation, but you can change your heart and lead your homes to do the same. Third, pray for wisdom in these areas.

I know this has been incredibly deep but just like Proverbs 25:2 says, "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the honor of kings is to search out a matter." This sign in the sky will be right over your head in just a few weeks - will you have the eyes to see what it really means?"

You Decide 🤔

Eclipse Portal Order of the Solar Temple

Many aspects of our world offer compelling ways to see our deep time history, Ancestors, and often similar ways to think about future generations. For me, total solar eclipses are a wonderful case of this. Total solar eclipses are not common. In any given place (say, the Sphinx of Egypt, Mt. Fuji in Japan, or the Yucatan Peninsula, etc.), one needs to wait usually many centuries from one to the next total solar eclipse. For me here in Detroit, Michigan (which will be missed by the path on April 8th), the most recent total solar eclipse was in 1806, and the next one is in 2444, a wait of over 600 years! What if it were possible, when a total solar eclipse happens, to look from one’s current time and place, to see out into another time and place when a total solar eclipse happened or will happen? An eclipse portal?

As with so much in our world today, science can bring us some ability to do exactly this. We now know so much more about past times and our Ancestors, that you and I can often look up enough info to get a good idea of much of what you’d see if you could look through a literal eclipse portal. I find it incredible to realize how much more we know now about life in so many ancient times compared to even our great-grandparents! Plus, we know when and where total solar eclipses happened, going back thousands of years!

The idea of eclipse portals – of using a total solar eclipse as a mental tool to step into the world of one our Ancestors (all the way back!), can be used in one’s eclipse ritual, guided meditations (both during the eclipse and at any other time), group ritual (I led a guided eclipse meditation back in 2017), and more. That means that we can find a time and place of interest, and use the emotional and psychological power of the eclipse (either during the eclipse or outside of it) to enrich our experience of envisioning this other time.

Yay for being in the path of totality! I'm on the East Coast so I didn't get to see a full eclipse, but I did see the one in 2017! My job made everyone stop what they were doing and take an extra break to see it back then. Passed out extra glasses and everything.

Did you notice a considerable drop in temperature during totality? I think that was the weirdest thing. I experienced about the 2017 eclipse. Absolutely supernatural vibes during the whole thing,

Ooo, nice! I think that one was a partial eclipse for us where we live!

I didn't notice a temperature change until the sun started coming back out, and I noticed myself shiver. I was so focused on the emotional awe of the moment that the physical didn't stand out to me much.

One thing I've heard others, including my dad, mention is that birds do and did go silent. We didn't experience that, but the birds around here will also sing away at 3 in the morning in the summer time. So, they seem to have mixed up clocks on the regular. XD

Still waiting for Spotify and YouTube to update their charts later today but Google has already come through with some beautiful data for a certain eclipse themed song we all know and love during the total solar eclipse we had in the USA on Monday, April 8, 2024...

https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=now%201-d&geo=US&q=%2Fg%2F1q5jzj36p,%2Fg%2F1q5j2__98,%2Fg%2F11bzvv1522,%2Fm%2F01qdc_p&hl=en

Look at the time of peak searches. And also note the path of searches on the map...

Map - http://www.nationaleclipse.com

So then I decided to compare with a few top eclipse anthem contenders to see who won the battle. Bonnie blew them all away.

Dark Side of the Moon came in #2 in comparison, followed by #3 Black Hole Sun and #4 Here Comes the Sun. None of them really dominated any city on the map over Bonnie.

Other potential eclipse anthems I checked that rated lower than the Beatles to the 4 listed above: Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel, Steal My Sunshine by Len, Total Eclipse by Iron Maiden, Dark of the Sun by Tom Petty, Promises in the Dark by Pat Benetar, Dancing in the Dark by Bruce Springsteen, Blinded by the Light cover by Bruce Springsteen (would be #5, this version was also more popular than the Manfred Mann's Earth Band version), Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone by Bill Withers and the individual song Eclipse by Pink Floyd specifically (the album ranked higher). I'm sure I'm missing some but these were at the top of multiple eclipse themed playlists I consulted.

I'm also not sure exactly how many searches this graph corresponds to yet, but I'm sure we'll get recap articles that might have numbers. From a different Google data product, it looks like over 200k searches were done for Total Eclipse of the Heart on Sunday, April 7th alone, the day before (still less than "how to make eclipse glasses" LOL).

Looking forward to Spotify's data. 🌞

Also fun to look at: comparing searches for this song over time with total US eclipses. Possible spikes due to eclipse interest would be 2012 (annular) and 2017 (total) but the 2023 (annular) barely registered. The other spikes may be due to Bonnie performing it on TV (2005) and the TV show Glee covering it (2010).

I'll look at this more later.

But just for fun too, if you've never seen it, check out the Literal lyrics version for the original music video (it was insane, even for the 80's) https://youtu.be/fsgWUq0fdKk?si=CRXE_Zd86GpZa1yG

I've been so busy, I haven't been able to play on tumblr for a few days! I'm having withdrawal! 😭

One of the reasons of busy is I went see the eclipse! A friend and I drove to Arkansas, over 6 hours away, to see totality. Drove there Sunday and spent the night. Then Monday, we went to Petit Jean State Park to see the eclipse. Such a beautiful park!

My shitty eclipse photos, I shoulda set up my camera settings before

Then we went hiking to give everyone time to clear out. The hike was beautiful, but a little over our skill level.

Photo on the left is the "path," where we said fuck it and headed back. I really wanted to see Cedar Falls, but we're both out of shape and we were ill prepared.

I was very proud of my outfit, especially my earrings. And that's the same necklace I wore for the 2017 eclipse, one of the many friendship necklaces I have with my bestie (who sadly could not accompany us)

Solar Eclipse 2024

Best picture I could get with my phone. I really wasn't that concerned about getting a picture or video.

Arrival to Earth - Steve Jablonsky played during the entire duration of totality!

I got to experience the total solar eclipse! I am incredibly grateful to have witnessed this in person. My parents and I drove out of state to the path of totality. The drive had suprising very little traffic and the place we sat to watch had 4 cars total (including ours).

How It Went

It was AMAZING. I don't know what I was expecting but what I experienced was nothing short of spectacular.

The moments leading up to total coverage were sereal and a tiny bit anxiety producing. There was light but also dimness. It wasn't the same as dawn or dusk where the sky changes color. The sky stayed blue. I would compare it to putting a brightness filter for pcs on your eyes or wearing very weak sunglasses.

The moments leading up to and during the eclipse, I shuffled a playlist on my phone. It was ethereal. Right before the moment of totality and for the complete duration, the song Arrival to Earth - Steve Jablonsky played. It was a perfect song for this event!

Part way through, I took an ear bud out and listened for the birds as I remember someone who experienced the 2017 eclipse talk about how the birds went quiet during total coverage. I can confirm that the birds were noticeably quiter where I was. I didn't notice the temperature change much until the sun started to come back out. It was noticeably warmer.

The planning and drive was 100% worth it to have experienced this in person. 🌑

seven years of waiting come to an end

Hey everybody. So today is the day of the eclipse...

or it would be, if I were writing this post today.

I'm instead writing this post yesterday because I don't know if I'll get home in time to write about actually watching the eclipse, so...

I'll probably write a super cool poem for my next post.

But today's post is better spent talking about how today's eclipse is personally significant.

...

In a more innocent time,

back in the distant year of 2017,

My mother took my brother and me to watch the August 21 eclipse at an outlet mall. With our eclipse glasses and fact sheets in tow, we sat at a bench just outside the bustling plaza to gaze up at the sky.

Of course, I wasn't fortunate enough to live anywhere near the path of totality, so we only witnessed a partial eclipse. The world grew a little darker, and a bite was missing from the once-circular sun we saw through the filtered cardboard glasses.

I still thought it was pretty cool.

Of course, in the aftermath of the eclipse, we discussed the next one we might want to go watch. This eclipse's path of totality was much closer to where we lived, so we'd be able to go watch this one in person. The only problem, however, was that it was so far off in the future.

April 8, 2024. We'd set our sights.

At the time, I was only just entering sixth grade. Though the upcoming eclipse was exciting, it was also so distant, and there were a bazillion more pressing events at the time. The eclipse would only be happening in my last year of high school, and I wasn't even a lowly sixth grader yet! Regardless, the 2024 eclipse was still something that'd stayed in the back of my mind at all times.

...

Now,

almost seven years later,

with a bazillion events behind me

and a million more unexpected ones

the eclipse is finally here.

It goes without saying that I'm a different person than I was seven years ago.

It would be insane to stay the same through all of it.

Middle school and high school,

a struggle to find friends and companionship,

the deaths of close family members,

years of just being generally nervous,

...

and of course, a global pandemic!

...

and a trillion nights spent staring up at the stars

and a few lunar eclipses too.

(lunar eclipses are pretty cool too! you might know them as "blood moons"!)

...

Today, I've found friends I'm happy with, as well as just feeling better about life in general, even if I still have my low moments.

That's just a few things that have changed.

But one thing that's held constant through it all was the anticipation for the April 2024 eclipse.

...

And now, instead of almost seven years between now and the eclipse, it's not even 24 hours anymore.

It's weird and exhilarating.

Sitting here right now, the past seven years feel like a blur.

That's not how they were, but there's an immense amount of solace in knowing there's no more difficult times or hard days left in the seven-year wait.

...

At times, I didn't even know if I'd live to see this eclipse.

Other times, the hopes of seeing this eclipse were evidence in a personally-bound argument as to why I should keep pushing on through the tough times.

...

But now is a more hopeful era.

I don't feel as if I need the promise of some astronomical event to help me see it through one more day/week anymore. I've found my own personal source of motivation now.

...

But even then, the eclipse has to have been the longest wait I've endured, and will likely ever endure too. (Sure, there's me getting out of grade school, but that's different.)

After the eclipse, I'll only have a few more clearly marked dates-I've-been-waiting-forever-for. These include my graduation from high school and the day I leave for college.

Beyond that, I have no more dates to look forward to.

It will just be me for the rest of eternity,

hopefully hacking away at personal projects

with a new type of anticipation,

not the type for some well-defined calendar date,

but instead, the anticipation for the day when I finally share my projects with the world.

...

But that's so far off into the future.

Who knows if I'll even feel like making the projects I want to make anymore once I'm that old?

For now, however,

I think I'm just going to relax,

and watch the eclipse I've waited so long for.

...

And I might not even get to see it,

because it might be cloudy.

Here's hoping it won't be.

Here's hoping the past seven years of waiting

haven't been in vain.

...

though I probably won't be devastated if it is.

regardless, the world will still fall under darkness,

albeit even if just for a few minutes.

...

It's all Waiting for Godot anymore, isn't it?

...

I still can't believe the wait is finally over.

what's happening at the coordinates and time listed

On April 8th, 2024, a total solar eclipse will be visible across North America. By a sheer cosmic coincidence, the path of totality just so happens to pass through Wapakoneta, Ohio, the birthplace and childhood home of Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the Moon. The coordinates point to the Armstrong Air and Space Museum, to which I originally planned to travel and view the eclipse. Of course, the Museum is planning its own festivities to mark the occasion, so I should probably remove the coordinates from my bio because they won't like a ton of random people showing up without tickets. My bio was mostly just meant to spread awareness ahead of the eclipse; I posted it a year or two ago, before major outlets were reporting on it, but as we get closer to the date it will become national news, just like the one in August 2017. Wapakoneta is gonna host a big event because of their connection to Armstrong, so I'll have to keep an eye on thay and plan my own trip accordingly.

TWITL - week 15 - wonky weather

Oof, I didn't write at all during the week? I think I was just tired all week. The weather was hot one day and a couple of days later, rain! I didn't mind the rain even though it was on Saturday and derailed our plans to go to farmers market. Let's see, what was the week like? I'll pick a picture from each day... https://flic.kr/p/2pJ8Nw7 Hmm, didn't see anything during the eclipse... Monday was the eclipse but we were nowhere near the path of totality so nothing too weird like back in 2017 (?) when the day seemed to darken a touch and the shadows showed those little crescents. I was hoping for those shadows but alas! https://flic.kr/p/2pK9Lzm me at the library during my lunch break Tuesday was cool enough for me to wear my jean jacket during my walk to the library on my lunch break. I look super thrilled in this shot, don't I? Whatevs. https://flic.kr/p/2pJPaMr two work monitors This is a shot from Wednesday. I like having two monitors at work and having the wallpapers rotate. I need to update some of the photos of the fellas. Sabina is the only other woman who appears on my wallpapers besides me. I think that's because I totally adore her. Hopefully she's at Tyler's show at the Hard Rock when we go. I'd love another picture with her! https://flic.kr/p/2pJMVzU City Park is always a lovely spot in the middle of the day I walked to City Park on Thursday even though it was rather warm. I didn't think it was so bad but then I started sweating a bit while sitting on the bench with the view above. Still, it was nice to be at the park, sitting on the bench while listening to my audiobook. https://flic.kr/p/2pJRyLs Squirrel at work I might have a strange fascination with squirrels. I don't mind seeing them living their lives, climbing the trees, dashing past me before I can get my phone out to take a picture. The squirrel above ran up and settled there to work a nut it had. I could hear it from where I was standing, which was not too close. Oh squirrels. https://flic.kr/p/2pK9AUw Casper dog at Boondoggies https://flic.kr/p/2pK6CQF Jameson mule We missed farmers market on Saturday because of the rain but when I saw one of our favorite bartenders would be working at Crown and Crow that evening, we decided to go out. We had Casper dogs at Boondoggies then headed to Crown and Crow for some drinks. It was great to see Marilyn! It had been forever. I had two Jameson mules and I realized upon my first sip that the last time I had Jameson was in Ireland. Awwww. Argylle is streaming on Apple TV+! We watched it last night and I still love it as much as I did when I saw it at the movie theatre. It's such a fun watch. Hmm, Henry Cavill. I want to buy that movie on 4K blu-ray. Yes, I like it that much. If you have Apple TV+, give it a watch. Locked Up - Sam Hunt - Sam has a new EP ready to buy/stream. It's great to have new music from him. I need to listen to the EP on repeat for a feel of the songs. I've only really listened to "Locked Up" more than a few times (I like it!). "Dare You to Doubt Me" - The Script - This song came out sometime last year and I just discovered it this week. What kind of fan am I? Not a very good one! It's a good song. I wonder when they're going to come out with new music. https://flic.kr/p/2pK8VXY The Delta, re-opening soon? This work week will see us off from work on Wednesday. Fun times! ;) Read the full article

Chasing the Eclipse: Missed Opportunities

🌑✨ Just shared my latest post - missing out on the full #eclipse experience but still caught some amazing sights! Plus, some thoughts on my current reads & how they're shaping my writing journey. 📚🖊️ Let me know your thoughts!

OK, so the eclipse was pretty cool. Solar power production at Wayfarer’s Refuge. Click for bigger. As I watched my friends post their photos, I regretted not traveling to southeast Oklahoma to get closer to totality. We hit 97% or so up here, and it was not all that different from what we experienced in 2017. But lots of friends in other parts of the country were in the totality path, and the…

Shortwave Radiogram, 11-17 April 2024 (program 349): Digital modes and seafood waste

If you were close enough to its path, I hope you had a view of the April 8th eclipse. Even if clouds obscured the sun, the brief presence of darkness during the day is quite a phenomenon. I found the filter glasses that we had from the 2017 eclipse, so my wife and I took turns looking at the 88% coverage here in Arlington, Virginia. That, and the shadows on the ground, were unusual and amazing. I monitored WWV or 5 and 10 MHz during the afternoon. My thinking was the signal from Colorado would hit the ionosphere in the vicinity of totality on its way to Virginia. On an SDR, the 5 MHz signal went from nothing to faintly visible on the spectrum display, and back to nothing. The 10 MHz signal went, by my ear, from weak to fair and back to less audible, but I need to do some more precise measurements from the recording. Three photos of the eclipse will be among the eleven images (all MFSK64) in this week's Shortwave Radiogram.

Rare non Precure post from me, but since I don't use my old blog, here's fine.

Have some photos of the eclipse yesterday! We were fortunate to have a bright, clear day for optimal viewing. I live south of the path of totality, but the visible portion of the sun got down to a sliver while I was watching. Despite that, the light outside was only a bit dimmer than usual at the peak of the eclipse, and I didn't feel any temperature change. If you didn't know what was going on, you wouldn't think anything was happening. This is the second solar eclipse I've seen in my life, that I recall, the first was the 2017 eclipse. It was fun and a bit surreal.

The Path of Totality

As the light grew stranger, I kept an eye on the birds and the dogs having heard that animals could behave abnormally during the eclipse. The puppy ran to the eastward fence and started yapping at nothing. When I looked back at the trees, all the starlings had fled. There had been dozens before, but now it was just me, Celina, Ethan and the dogs.

Celina fashioned a looking device out of a cardboard box, printer paper, tape, scissors and tin foil. “What’s the foil for?” Ethan asked. “Your tin cap,” I said. She stabbed a pinhole in one side of the box and through it we saw the great celestial toenail. Over the suburban disquiet, two overexcited dogs sniffed around for something they felt but couldn’t detect. Celina kept saying it was like a Spielberg movie: A low-fi murmur/disturbance in the heartland, fashioning scientific instruments with stuff from aisle nine, death lurking in the background. The parents were away at work, leaving the kids to bore into wonder.

Dad died on April Fool’s Day and, a week after he completed his path to totality, a solar eclipse stole the nation’s attention, sapping its GDP for a minute. The last solar eclipse back in 2017 had Nebraska squarely in the path of totality. Bill Nye graced Grand Island with his bow tie and Nicky flew home to shoot it, though they should've gone to Carhenge. I was in New York working for a nonprofit near Wall Street. I stepped out of the office to look skyward, but was more taken by the spectacle of thousands of suits looking up, holding a thin tint to shield themselves, thinking the last time something like this happened was when the Twin Towers fell.

The lead up to yesterday's solar eclipse was very informative in a lot of ways. It was a good exercise in seeing how infected the throbbing vein inflamed with a unsure neurosis running through the world's populations truly is. How deep it's perturbations resound out. How much of it is artificially induced, to what degrees, and how much grifter culture has come in the past ~10+ years. Next door, the woman and her husband clear out old debris from the trees behind their house; working without so much as a glance towards the sky. Trucks carrying shipping containers and processed food rumble by. A cargo train fitfully jerks past. In that twilight moment yesterday(was not in the path of totality), as I stare up at the sun and moon mingling together through an old welding helmet, snapping pictures with a digital camera, the silence and the dark grey settling over things, I couldn't help but think of the significance: an aries moon and sun in aries as well. War, War. War is always here. War is always on the horizon. People are always at war with themselves. It does not end. There is a greek dweeb from the way back who once remarked "War is the daddy of everything desu uwu ^.^". I suppose that is true to an extent. It is all about if you have accepted the warfare-or, if you prefer, the constant conflict-of things clashing, intermixing, falling apart, rebuilding themselves. The fluctuation of all things es lo que es. In 2017 I traveled across the U.S. with an old friend and his family, people I considered family then. This was the time of the 2017 solar eclipse. Stopped there, on the side of some highway in the middle of the dry New Mexico scrub-land, peering through 5 pairs of sunglasses, drunker than all Hell, my friend's dad and I laughing to each other; "It ain't shit out here. What a bummer. At least we get to see something cool in the desert." I wish I had not been so loaded that whole trip, or had taken photos of that eclipse but I suppose it does not matter too much. I got some this time. But for the past few years I have had the distinct notion that I have somehow spared myself from not being in the path of totality for either of these celestial events. I think it is most likely my own odd brand of paranoia that sits in the back of the class of my mind whispering weird shit while I'm on autopilot during the day, but it could be significant if even for self-psychological reasons. One more thing, to touch on what I said about the grifter culture from earlier: I say it has come a long way. I have watched so many scam narratives be pushed by multiple persons throughout my time using the internet (a long time) and have even trolled myself and confess I have fucked with people in the past- not necessarily in a malevolent way per-say but more of fucking with people just to do it- but seeing how much noise has increased, as it were, over the InTerWebZ all these years, and hear seemingly normal persons talk about what would have hitherto something you'd only read somewhere like Godlike Productions or /x/ is strange indeed. Strange times. Listen to your own judgement. If you feel you may be lacking in the mental requisites to discern truth from the varied sources and persons online and offline, cultivate critical thinking. Read a basic logic textbook. I don't say that to be patronizing in any way. I did a few years ago on my own time because I could tell my own logical understanding was lacking. It never hurts to sharpen your mind, especially during these times. I hope who ever reads this is doing well for the moment and something happens today or tomorrow that helps you and yours out immensely. -Wraithclatter
