A privilege indeed, happy to read about it, as I was not lucky to watch the eclipse. But here, now, I am feeling it due to your share, thank you!

Half an hour later, it completely clouded over again for over an hour and a half. But 25 minutes before it ended, it cleared up again. I said an audible thank you for being blessed. So many people take this kind of thing for granted but I knew it might be my last chance to see a full, supermoon, total eclipse. I loved your poem, Bill!
Thank you, my friend. We have to watch for all the wonders that we are able to.
