We found this great interactive way to move along the whole moon’s shadow path with a full color satellite image of the land below. You’ll love it!
Follow the shadow of the moon as it completely blocks out the sun on Aug. 21, moving along a 3,000-mile path from Oregon’s Pacific coast to the eastern shore of South Carolina.

A simple message for this day and age.
The mind is both our friend and our enemy. It makes a good servant but a bad boss. It keeps us in this illusion called the outer world. There is a witness inside us though, who you may rightly call Soul, who can be the real boss and make the mind our help mate instead of harm us.
Gratefulness is a very high state to live in. It pays you back in countless ways. It also makes your life truly wonderful.
It seems to me we get what we “deserve” on some level. There’s something inevitable about what shows up in our life. With the exception of lightning, etc. So maybe we ask for it, either consciously or unconsciously. All this speaks to a life well spent as life that accepts and deals with what shows up. I’ve found that to be so true in my life and to my great joy.
This is “old” work but it holds it’s own and I really like this version of it done by Don Macken. You get to see and hear me too! Enjoy.
The Lifetime of Humanity
My love for the night sky that came to me as a child from a grandmother figure, Donna McCutcheon, is deeply ingrained in me. I find the night sky endlessly interesting. Now that I’ve taken up video work, I’m capturing movies of the moon, clouds, trees, sometimes a star or planet, sunsets, and other sky-related images. I’m almost always noticing things and suddenly run outside in the day or even the middle of the night with the camera and tripod, in order not to miss some colorful dance the moon is doing.
It’s what the unaided eye sees that fascinates and intrigues me, and that’s what I try to capture in my video images. When I look at the night sky, a strong feeling sweeps through me as I realize that what I am looking at, the whole human race has been looking at during its entire existence. It’s hard to explain just how connected I can feel with that sense of history. Hard for me to be out in the night without looking up and feeling it. Hard to find words to express that connection with my fellow man and woman across time, place, and culture. Looking up at the sky, I am sharing the lifetime of humanity. In those feelings is a warm connection for me, a feeling of fellowship and commonality with humanity that gives me great joy and peace.

Just came back from a wonderful retreat at Mount Madonna Center, Watsonville, Ca. with my Sangat of followers of Kirpal Singh. It was most wonderful and inspirational so I share another quote from the Great Master.

We talk a lot and really just how truthful is it? If we calm and quiet perhaps we will see and be in the truth that lives in SILENCE.
