I decided today as I was running under the stars, that the coolest thing about the eclipse a couple days ago wasn't the eclipse itself.
It was that for an hour, people stopped looking at their phones and instead looked up to the sky.
I wonder how different life must have been in the past before people had so much technology to distract them. When I was living in India, I loved how simple life was. I never drove anywhere and I didn't have a phone...I didn't even have internet that often. It was like being freed from a lot of burdens and when I talked to people, it seemed extra precious, because I was actually present in the moment.
I honestly think if we let go of the things that are binding us so tightly to a virtual life, we might be quicker to recognize the beauty in our actual lives.
