don't forget

The cow is jumping over the moon tomorrow night... not too long after your bedtime if you're here in California. It will reach full eclipse around midnight and stay that way for over an hour. If you think you can't stay awake for it, just remember the bars don't close until two. You could go and be kept awake long enough to go out and see it. You could take an early evening nap. You could send me your phone numbers and I will keep calling to keep you from blowing it....

Instead of viewing this as a dire omen, as so many maniacs are doing, we could be out there soaking up splendor, gathering the vitality to turn the world into a heaven for living things. That's never not our own choice.
