“It was a spiritual experience.”
“Thousands just stood in awe.”
“I definitely want to do it again.”
Those are real quotes from people I know.
They had not just had an audience with the pope… nor… watched Caitlin Clark swish from 35 feet… nor… attended their first Bruce Springsteen concert.
They had just seen the totality of the solar eclipse yesterday.
I imagine it was humbling to realize the small role our big blue marble plays in the expanse of the universe. Imagine if we could come together as one frequently – united for good – rather than wait until the moon does its thing again in 2044.
Side Note: Josh Groban did, in fact, have a religious experience this week, and afterward posted on Instagram: “Congregated at the church of Springsteen last night… and left feeling like my soul had taken a bath. Truly one of the best shows I’ve seen… He sounds incredible, he had us on our feet and punching the air, but the thing that really had me was his almost telepathic synergy with E Street. They are intertwined on a cellular level and it was an honor to see it live.” IYKYK
