We had been in the bush for a week, oblivious to any news from the outside world. Our neighbors finally came over to tell us that we were about to witness a total eclipse of the sun. They also warned us not to look into the sun unprotected. Fortunately, I had a few spoiled exposed slide frames on me which served as perfect filters. The event is frozen in time.
Time is meaningless.
The event does, however, remain fresh in my mind as though it happened yesterday. Finally a bird starts his ode to the impending light. Another one joins in. Nature awakens to greet the new dawn. A dawn at 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
