What a day it has been! All over the country, people have flocked to a 70-mile wide stretch from coast to coast to catch the rare total solar eclipse. The first coast-to-coast eclipse in nearly a century -- not to mention the first total eclipse since 1979, this was a sight to behold. Unfortunately, since my school is now in session, I was unable to make the pilgrimage to Oregon, Idaho, or South Carolina, but I was treated to a lovely partially obscured sun. What was truly special about this once-in-a-lifetime event, however, was that amidst all the turmoil in America, people of any creed were able to come together and enjoy this gift from God, and in the end, that is all that matters.
In the darkness of the midday eclipse shone a glimmer of light, a glimmer of hope.
