Last Monday I was lounging in a hammock, 30 yards from thundering surf, watching through sea-mist as the new moon slid in front of the sun: reminded that I am a minuscule life-form on an astronomical body, and that all around me, always, vast objects are dancing and orbiting and rushing through space. Feeling privileged to be an eye, a witness, a creature capable of perceiving this phenomenon. Easy to understand that this is a sacred, a terrible and wonderful thing.

(Does anyone know, by the way, if there's any special significance to an eclipse just before the beginning of Ramadan?)

This Monday, I've been clearing up cat-sick. But it's a lovely sunny morning, the light mellow and almost green, and I'm about to cycle to my yoga class.
