the eclipse was amazing. simply stunning. i went to discovery lake and i don't know why i was the only one out there watching the moon as it was swallowed by the shadow of the earth, but i was. the slightest, brightest sliver of moon refused to be dimmed, however, and as the earth moved on, she slowly returned to her full presence, flooding the sky with light as if to say she would not be vanquished despite the darkness.
the whole night would have been much more poetic if afterwards i had not discovered i left my wallet at the school as i was attempting to buy gas. :)
