I felt a sense of awe. Of great bodies moving past one another. Of what ancient humans must have thought when witnessing such an event. The conviction of divine forces at work.
Despite knowing the physics behind it, today's solar eclipse nevertheless felt magical. The twilight afternoon in eerie pall -- despite the clear skies -- was an uncanny experience. I can see why religion has held sway for so many centuries. The gods do rather seem "up there," moving about.
