Watched the lunar eclipse from the front steps. A little night magic in the neighbourhood!
Alex, Penny and Amita were here for a Sunday dinner and we glanced at the full moon in anticipation - then the sky clouded over. By 11:00 the view was clear again, but they'd already gone home for the work week ahead.
It was like watching time compressing as the light shone from a full moon to a new moon.
I couldn't help thinking of primitive times, when people may have looked up into the sky without any warning to see the moon eclipsing, and the relief in the reappearance. Maybe an unsettled feeling, that the heavens were changeable and unpredictable. Gods to intervene.
