So much layered information inherent in the symbolic cosmology associated with a solar eclipse!
The sun and it's perennial source of light/energy. Awareness!
The moon, seen only as it reflects sunlight moving through its phases. Dreaming!
And the interplay as the moon passes over the sun. The moon's shadow darkens, yet renders everything ethereal and magical in that strange twilight that's unique to solar eclipses......and then passes, restoring unimpeded sunshine, but perhaps with renewed recognition of that pure awareness that seems to go so frequently "forgotten"
Of course, this is only one way of looking at it. But, in this context, this moment has rich meaning
Thanks for the reminder, MS
