Before you die,

you owe it to yourself

to experience a total solar eclipse.

It is the ultimate experience of awe.

Now, that word,

"awesome,"

has grown so overused

that it's lost its original meaning.

True awe,

a sense of wonder and insignificance

in the face of something enormous and grand,

is rare in our lives.

But when you experience it,

it's powerful.

Awe dissolves the ego.

It makes us feel connected.

Well, there is nothing truly more awesome

than a total solar eclipse.

April 8, 2024,

the moon's shadow heads north

from Texas to Maine.

What if we all stood together,

as many people as possible,

in the shadow of the moon?

Just maybe,

this shared experience of awe

would help heal our divisions.
