The curiosity left me, so I resigned from Facebook 3 or more years ago, and I don't want to be better schooled in the "fabulist" doctrine from that channel. Nice piece. Thanks.
What I found piquing my mind was what happened on Monday: the eclipse. How is it that so many Americans gathered, smiled, wallowed in shared experience? How were the differences put aside (save for Alabama) for the hour or two of viewing; though perhaps for even longer considering runup, planning, and returning to work-a-day-world? Is it possible there are no way to share grocery shopping, or movie watching, or schooling our children or civically engaging in our towns' business? How could an infrequent US visitor like the eclipse shadow all the resentment and divergence?
Wonder-ous! It is an event that bears repeating if just for the brilliant quietness of wonder.
