Maybe every once in a while, just for a few minutes, when nobody is looking, it’s not so bad to divest oneself of scientific rationalism and take a quick plunge into a totally different way of experiencing nature. This morning, just before the polls opened, was a perfect opportunity for that. The moon turned blood red, then I couldn’t see it at all - a total lunar eclipse.
Any wide awake ancient would know this is no ordinary day, and an eclipse is no humdrum thing. .It’s a chance to think in a different way – just for a few minutes, when nobody is looking.
Omens tell you something, but you have to figure out what. Does it have something to do with the election? Something to do with nature? Or both - when the chance to vote lines up with our obligation to the natural world on which we depend?
