OMG that plum poem made me forget what I wanted to say. Lol. All I wanted to say actually is that you're doing it right. Eclipses are a chaotic time and it seems like things may be a little chaotic for you. And also you have kids so you know Leo. Leo is the child of the zodiac. And they sound pretty chaotic so yeah you're doing it right.

An interesting fact is that some indigenous folks actually say to stay inside during an eclipse, since the energy is intense and was a frightening time for our ancestors. They also say that they don't mind if people want to look, they let people do whatever they want to do. I think that's the real message of today: do whatever you want to do. Not because someone told you to do it but because you want to do it.

Oh Sam!!! Thank you. Thank you. This makes so much sense. And you’ve completely reinforced that I should just write whatever arrives to be written and I don’t need to over think it or know why. Likewise do what I need to do. I really appreciate your comment 🙏🌞✨

Thank you for this. I was starting to feel overloaded by eclipse mania yesterday and decided to stay off social media until it had passed. It's easy to get caught up in the worry of whether you are doing something right or not and forget to just have a human experience of it.

Exactly this. Weirdly chaotic wasn’t it.

I too have experienced a shoe shower and I would really rather see a meteor shower!

It certainly adds a different dimension 😂

EVERYTHING YOUVE SAID. Honestly, all the noise does is create this notion that there’s a perfect way of doing something but honestly the magic of perfection is something I’ve only ever witnessed nature do well, not us humans. I will enjoy it, if I’m outside, by not looking directly at it, and trust that exactly where I need to be, doing exactly what I’m meant to do. Thank you for the beautiful reminder Nelly x

“The magic of perfection is something I’ve only ever witnessed nature do well”. Oof what a line. I’ll be writing that in my journal 🙏❤️

Love this. Def not in the headspace or space for ‘perfect’. Perfectly imperfect always

I'm going to count reading this as one of those miraculous things I get to do today. Also, am planning to come back and read it again tonight because I need to hear it all again. Thank you. And holy crap, that plum poem!!!
