Moon Dog

There is something magical about a solar eclipse. Something that makes it feel like anything is possible. During the "Great American Eclipse" in August of 2017, I know I felt that way. I was in Columbia, South Carolina, one of the best places in the country to see the total eclipse. I was just starting my sophomore year of college, and life felt like my oyster. There I was, sitting cross-legged on a blanket in Maxcy Gregg Park, black-tinted glasses on, and eyes pointing towards the sky. The sun was just about covered, only a few more moments and it would be completely hidden behind the moon.
