I did sit out in the backyard for about 15 minutes around 1:30 AM this morning to look at the #eclipse.



I had made up a thermos of sweet red tea in honor of the red moon (hibiscus, honey, pomegranate and other delicious things) before I went to bed, so that was warm and waiting for me next to my glasses case on the kitchen table.
I feel very mooned-up now, between the bike trip to the field to watch it rise and then getting up to see it eclipsed. Ahhhhh.
Every time I look at our only considerably-sized orbiting body, I wonder if it feels lonely? I've been reading space fiction again this week. Our space in general feels really lonely to me.
