Staring at the sun in reverence: The 2024 solar eclipse

When the sun vanished behind the mighty tiny moon there was a reverence and silence that seemingly came over the crowd..

Animals acted..off.. everything grew dim with long shadows and a dull faint light.

While not totality, it was cooler and calmer than what I experienced in 2017..

When the sun began coming back with light everyone breathed more of a relief than they expected to..

The mighty sun rose again. The heat and safety returned ..

It sure makes sense how worshipping the sun became a thing.

While no massive earth quakes or end times hit us, there were some oddities. Like this:

But this very real and intense moment on ABC news captures it all: The excitement.. the animals reacting.. the silence. the reverence.. the darkness.. The deep seated ancestral fear of darkness.. And the return of the light:

“It is really, truly breathtaking here in Burlington, Vermont.” @ABC News anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis were in Burlington, Vermont, as the #EclipseAcrossAmerica made its way across the country. They witnessed the solar eclipse, and the sun’s diamond ring after totality ended. @ABC News Live @Good Morning America @National Geographic ♬ original sound – ABC World News Tonight
