Behold The Moon

Today is the 19th of November, 2021.  It is the day for mindfulness as a part of the state of truth, for it is wisdom that accords with reality.

Although the whole world appears to be on the brink of collapsing into chaos, the moon has chosen this date to display the longest-duration lunar eclipse in 580 years.  The last eclipse of this duration was in the pre-Columbian year 1441.  How long ago was that?  In  the 1440s, 50 years before Columbus sailed to North America, Portuguese Prince Henry the Navigator was still commissioning exploration of the West African coast.  1441 was the year Henry's fleet brought the first enslaved black Africans to Europe.  Forget The 1619 Project - the original sin occurred in Lagos in the Kingdom of Portugal in 1441.  

But let's not discuss all that today and instead just behold the moon.  It's time for another photo essay.  Here are some photos, not of mine but harvested from my social media feeds, of the moon over Atlanta. Props to the talented original photographers.
