Total Eclipse for 2 minutes!
8 years ago
Please take a moment to read this. Especially if you're an artist drawing for me
It was absolutely breathtaking! The light was so dim right before it was total that it literally made me disoriented!
When it was a total eclipse, the sky was crowned by a halo of pure light. It was like a massive sphere of polished onyx and set in a ring of liquid silver. For 2 minutes, it was a sunset in EVERY direction. A full 360 degree dusk. And as the sun returned from behind its lunar veil, the glimmer of life-giving light grew like a star entering the world, reborn again with an entire civilization of awestruck spectators, staring upon its splendor. For those 2 minutes, life ceased all noise and all bustle, to simply look up and revel in the amazing, awesome, miraculous, prime example of what it means to be truly alive. It came to me like a glimmer of light hidden behind a veil of darkness.

Edit; Forgot to add in, this was during a partial, not when it went to totality.
