Explosion of shadows shoot through the sky.
Creating a surreal atmosphere of darkness makes me feel like I can fly.
Listening to the sounds of nature, I discover the eclipse is not the rapture.
I discover a beautiful blockage, the moon passing in front of the sun.
Praying for peace, and that peace doesn’t run.
Sun blocked by the moon is good, we can all see it and unity, for a few minutes, is understood.
Ending all the bad things, the good times are here, join me in celebrating a celestial new year.

Religious Freedom Granted in 1978
What traditions are you most thankful for and why? Rupi Kaur's Gratitude Writing Prompts 1. Enormous Gratitude for the return of religious freedom for American Indians in 1978. The same year I got into recovery. That year I could smudge, go into the sweat lodge, attend full-moon ceremony, pipe ceremony, wiping of tears ceremony, and others.

"Praying for peace, and that peace doesn’t run," is such a profound sentiment. Nice work!
I like this particularl line Alex- “I discover a beautiful blockage”, and how you portray a hiding of something (the sun) as something lovely.
Loved this - if we could continue the unity…
I loved this! The imagery, intention and the cadence was just so well done!
‘Join me in celebrating a celestial new year’ Amen to that! Good one, Alex.
Oooo, beautiful blockage. I really loved that!
