Last night a number of us went down to the beach and watched the total eclipse of the Moon.
We are usually so frantic, so busy, so distracted in our everyday lives. We make our mental lists, race to and fro, and think of where we should be rather than where we are.
But the Moon is in another realm of existence altogether.
To watch the shadow of the Earth, slowly and with great majesty, pass across the face of the Moon, is to glimpse the clockwork of the Universe, to bear witness to the slow and regal dance of the Spheres.
Lying on a sandy beach, and watching this magnificent show as it gradually unfolded, I was transported out of the day to day, and into a world of pure spirit.
