The Day I Caught The Solar Eclipse In My Hand — Pretty Decent

All things considered, it was a pretty normal day.

I was at work, sitting in my office. It'd only been about a week since my dad's funeral, and I was reaching a point at work where I just sat all day in the dark, waiting to go home.

I watched online as different regions of the world went dark, the moon closing in on the sun. Drowning out the light.

I walked outside, armed with a cereal box rigged to show me a reflection of what was happening lightyears away in space.

I felt underwhelmed. I went back to my desk, ready to log back into the empty grind of work. Then, like a tiny miracle, the sunlight drifted in through my window, catching the tiny holes in the closed blinds.

It's such a small and seemingly inconsequential moment, but it's one of the most remarkable things that's ever happened to me.

A few minutes later, everything went back to normal.

Thank you for reading! What were you doing during last year's solar eclipse? Get any good pictures? Comment below, I wanna see :)
