That last man's word, "It's hard to explain" says it all. I feel the same.

Being less than 3 weeks from the 2024 one, I can’t wait to see my first total solar eclipse!

I’m feeling it even though it’s not yet happened and is about 8-9 hours from this writing. I shall update accordingly in the best way I can afterwards making first my expectations: 1. I think it’ll get dark but not as dark as it looks and the sun will be blocked but I imagine it will be something like when the sun has long set but there remains still much blue. 2. I will be near (at or near the shore of Lake Erie in Erieau, Ont, Canada. I expect the weather to change as they said. But I expect it’ll feel like a cool breeze. I wonder what role the water will play, if any. 3. Likely cloudy. I am worried. Very anxious yet excited. Lots of FOMO and fear that “it surely can’t happen” or that “what if they’re wrong and I don’t see anything?”. 4. I’ll be with my grandfather, this will certainly affect us both and I don’t know his reaction as he is usually calm, consistent and unwavering temperamentally. I feel he might not have much of a reaction or have a reaction that changes my perspective and opens new thoughts. 5. Prayer and hymns we will sing or at least play or hear prepared. “David’s Lamentation, Holy Harp”, “O My Father, Eliza Snow”, and some others but those are aptly chosen. 6. Aftermath. I wonder how it’ll feel after and if it’ll give me a kind of “processing/adjustment or other after effects. I don’t have solar glasses but I won’t be looking at the eclipse directly except during the obscurity, taking precautions to slightly glimpse rather than “stare focused” if that makes sense. (I’m aware of the risks but I know the precautions. I having balanced them out and chosen to go ahead as planned rather than miss it. May you all feel our combined experience and your own unique experience and always know that I was there with you, and I love you, whoever you are.

Amen! We are forever. In different forms of energy! Heading to texas! Friday 😊

2017 was an absolute solace as well and I'm blessed that technology in just 7 years has brought us all together to experience one of the earths most amazing phenomenons. Thank you ❤ again.

That first man’s comments that “the scientists and mathematicians can explain everything they want with their numbers and their figures but it’s just a feeling and an emotion of being there”, reminded me of the media interviews with astronomers when they first fixed the lens problem on the Hubble telescope and got these extraordinary, breath-taking pictures. The astronomers and cosmologists were giving interviews talking about numbers of stars, distances, ages of galaxies - as if that’s what people found fascinating about the pictures. It was the sheer beauty of “the heavens”, an aspect of nature they had never seen before, in those pictures that made people admire them. We never look up much in our light polluted environments. We’re so obsessed with our little existence here on this planet, it’s good to be reminded that there’s more out there than us. To see the sun disappear in a clear sky in the middle of the day must have been terrifying to humans in an earlier period of our history. We get to enjoy the experience and know this life-giving energy isn’t gone for good, and I think it makes us feel grateful.

You really have to see totality to “get it”

I watched it in Dayton Ohio and totality was AWESOME!!!!

feel the power of the sun

Brought me to tears!! Cant wait

I hope you’re ready for Monday! You’ll have another chance!

This is like those overhyped fortnite events lol.

Maybe that's why people need to start looking up to the heavens instead of believing heaven exists in books, legends and myth. 🤗

People are nuts getting emotional its not that big of a deal.

it’s one of the most awe-inspiring things you can see it feels like God or the universe is speaking directly to you. You have to see it to believe it

@@lunedogg i have seen it. And its not god speaking to you, when you are a chrsitian and have a relationship with your saviour Jesus Christ then you hear god speaking to you.
