Eclipse That

Audio Recordings / tagged Eclipse, History, Hope, Superstition, Turning Point, War / April 11, 2024 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

In 2134 B.C.
astronomers Ho and Hsi
got drunk and got the date wrong
and the emperor had their heads cut off

In 585 B.C.
A battle between Lydians and Medes
was called because of midday darkness
and they never bothered to start up again

In 413 B.C.
The navy of Athens
halted a strategic retreat
because Nicias was superstitious
and gave the army of Syracuse a win
that spelled the end of Athenian power

In 1504
Columbus knowing what was coming
wowed Jamaicans to feed him and crew

In 2024
In Austin Texas the sun went out
and a cool breeze blew the old away
and a cool breeze blew a new world in

The Diamond Ring Effect

Audio Recordings, Nature, Personal Growth, Relationships / tagged Eclipse, Polarity / April 10, 2024 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

The sun of thought
the moon of feelings
so oft in conflict and discord
have become as one again

And each will travel richer for a while
with the giftings of a little of each other
