point of view

December 21st, 2010

I dreamed last night that I was taking photos of the solstice lunar eclipse. But in fact, I didn’t even bother to wake up—it was way too cloudy here to see anything. This morning I went online to see what it looked like, and found this link to a Flickr page that NASA set up, where people could post their pictures. It’s very moving to see all the different versions, from all over the place, and to think of everyone watching the moon together.

Holly read somewhere that you’re supposed to line your shoes up on the solstice, for good luck or something.
