Places I have been ...<br /><br />I've been on a train at 9000 feet, going through a mountain pass that towered several 1000 feet above me.<br /><br />I've seen both the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans.<br /><br />I have woken on a train to Brindisi in the middle of the night, and looked out over the Adriatic sea and saw the moon's reflection make a spear of light from the horizon to where I was.<br /><br />I have lived in a Dene First Nation village 200 miles south of the Arctic Circle.<br /><br />I've stood at the foot of Mont Blanc.<br /><br />I've been in a boat in the middle of Loch Ness.<br /><br />I've stood on the Acropolis, where modern history began.<br /><br />I've stood on the stage of the great theater at Epidaurus, where modern theater began.<br /><br />None of that compares to what I saw yesterday.<br /><br />There are no words.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=ericcoleman&ditemid=980689" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://ericcoleman.dreamwidth.org/980689.html eclipse public 0
