The world is going a little crazy for the sun this week. People scramble to book hotels, travel long distances, buy protective eyewear, and create the perfect musical playlist to celebrate the sun's total eclipse on April 8, 2024.
And, I’m joining them.
However, I couldn’t help wondering, “Who’s the star of the show? The sun? The moon? The sky that holds them both?”
Does it even matter?
While you prepare, ignore, or wonder about the relationship between the sun and moon, I offer a few photographs and words. Life is too short to ignore the light around us.
“No sun outlasts its sunset, but it will rise again and bring the dawn.”
—Maya Angelou
“The Sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.”
—Galileo Galilei
"Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead."
—Louisa May Alcott
"Friends are the sunshine of life.
—John May
“When the Sun is shining, I can do anything. No mountain is too high, no trouble too difficult to overcome.”
—Wilma Rudolph
Even if Monday is like any other day, take a moment to marvel at the universe, listen with your eyes wide open, and don’t be blinded by the light.
Check to see if you are in the path of the Total Solar Eclipse.
A few songs to sing or hum during the eclipse: “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” “Here Comes the Sun,” and “Eclipse.”
Human nature is so made that only what is unusual and infrequent excites wonder or is regarded as of value. We make no wonder of the rising and the setting of the sun which we see every day; and yet there is nothing in the universe more beautiful, or worthy of wonder. When, however, an eclipse of the sun takes place, everyone is amazed — because it happens rarely.
—Gerald of Wales
