large cities to small towns creating great wonderment as the SUN vanishes from the sky.
The "blackness" or the moment of totality as it is called by scientists and other planetary watchers will be created by the Total Solar Eclipse of 2017. *
In addition to the State of Oregon it will pass over national and historic places in the State of Wyoming
before it heads on to Alliance, Nebraska where it goes toward Carbondale, ILL, hovers over the
Appalachian Trail in North Carolina and heads for Columbia and Charleston, S.C. where at approx.
2:30 (P.M. E.D.T.) the Totality of the Great Total Solar Eclipse will head to the Atlantic Ocean.
This event has created an atmosphere of great anticipation. Some of it a rare opportunity for all of us
young and some abled some disabled in our homes, or in centers or in jail, or on street corners as some of it hovers over state and national offices, some over land and water some often in dispute.
It will cross over schools, highways and bridges, some in need of major repair others equipped with
the latest technology. Over religious and secular buildings some in gated gardens others boarded up.
It will cover roadways, from rural roads to six-lane highways, some being repaired others in need of repair. It will keep pace with railways and in some cases overtake others.
Visitors from foreign lands other states and cities will come seeking information and help from home owners, local and state police departments, hospitals and medical treatment.
Prepared or not, like the child's hide and seek game, The Total Solar Eclipse will be here in less than two weeks time. In spite of the efforts of those in the scientific community, philosophers,
astronomers, engineers to lay volunteers, there are still people not sure about how to view the
Eclipse safely nor how to understand the significance of all we are about to see.
We have been been preparing as if to go to war. What if we took an advantage of the sense of community and listen to the quiet while trying to understand the strange rustling of the wind as animals
and birds seem to take flight?
What if we simply felt renewed in spirit and realized how connected all things are to each of us and
how precious is life everywhere?
