My Mom called me at the end of the work day Tuesday and told me that she and my Dad had just been to a local viewing point and because the day had become clearer-skied, they'd been able to see Venus begin its transit across the sun.
I managed to get myself to the spot and was happy to see a fairly large group, young and old, waiting to use the differing telescopes that had been set up for viewing.
And, yes, I did in fact get a chance to see Venus, this tiny tiny little dot of a thing, hanging out in front of the sun; this massive burning globe of a thing.
And I got to see sunspots too, and I'm really glad I went up to take a look because the whole thing was pretty cool.
It felt important; portentous somehow. A sign of great, positive things to come.
And of course, me being me, I couldn't help singing this for the rest of the day and fell in love with it all over again...
