What a lovely story, Debra. Thank you for sharing this. Like you, these events remind me of the vastness of the universes and all that is "out there". So so so much greater than we are!

Here in Calgary, we only had 1/3 of an eclipse, so I was watching a NASA livestream and caught several viewings as the 'show' cut a swath across the US. Absolutely stunning! Sun fun to hear the shouts and cheers alternating with amazed silence with every moment of "totality" at each stop along the way.
