I viewed the solar eclipse today through the free eclipse glasses that the New York City public libraries gave out to customers.

The photo above is how the eclipse appeared through the glasses. A moment of transcendent awe that turned an ordinary Monday afternoon into a Wow!

Another solar eclipse will come around in 21 years. I’ll be 79 then.

What takes my breath away is seeing nature in all its glory like when I viewed the eclipse.

The weather will be getting warmer so the days of talking long walks in a park or on the city streets is coming soon.

I imagine that even a person in a wheelchair can find a stretch of road in a park to fly by wheeling through nature..

What joy is to be had living in tune with the natural world.

I hope you enjoy seeing this photo if you weren’t able to view the eclipse on your own.
