The Solar Eclipse/How Our Choices Shape Our Orbit

The moon blocks the sun’s light at least twice a year. It’s a consequence of its orbit and beyond its control.

We, however, have a choice. We might feel a temporary sense of superiority when judgmentally throwing shade or criticism at someone. But, like a solar eclipse, it’s a high that only lasts a few fleeting moments. So, we do it again and again to recapture the feeling until it becomes our orbit.

Another option is to find ways to amplify the light of others. It requires energy to travel this way, but it creates a beautiful ripple effect that helps us see and appreciate each other more clearly. Then, we all feel brighter and more energetic..

Until next week, enjoy the eclipse if you are in its path, and have fun storming the castle.
