Born to Run

And so is born a new generation. Of eclipse chasers. While in embryo they sought out the totality, and in those few glorious moments their heart chained to this swooping shadow that crisscrossing the earth. Those seminal moments which cannot be adequately explained, while the science of shadows is simple, when the heavens engage in shadow puppetry the results are nearly as hard to fathom as the distance to the sun.
So when your newly birthed eclipse chaser wants to jet off to a desert in Mongolia or a peak in Europe, be gentle. They are chasing a memory that cannot be replicated any other way. And perhaps instead of scoffing you will join them in the twilight of totality, and yourself be reborn.
