"Nothing is permanent or pervasive. Everything appears to pass and to change. I go with the flow. I create the change." - Unknown
Whoever Unknown is, I'd like to thank you for briefly quoting Buddha in the first part as "nothing is permanent" is a phrase that Buddha is known for.
Namaste.
Wondering get's me practically nowhere. But I wonder how many people have actually seen an eclipse. I've only seen one just this past year in 2014 on a cool October morning. I saw the Earth shadow the Moon then it gradually went from orange to blood red. I even captured it on a dinky little camcorder that made this event seem infinitesimally smaller than it actually was. Though in comparison I suppose this small lunar event is dinky compared to everything going on in the entire Universe. It was my first eclipse.
