Eternity is a frightening thought.

Comprehensible to so few.

Looking out across it.

It's easy to feel insignificant.

Perhaps, that's why we perceive so little of it.

So, that we don't go mad.

Eternity is insanity to gods.

    "Eclipse" commonly refers to the astronomical event where one celestial body passes in front of another, temporarily obscuring its light. The most notable type of eclipse is a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse: Solar Eclipse: This occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, blocking all or part of the sun's light. There are different types of solar eclipses, including total, partial, and annular eclipses, depending on the alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth. Lunar Eclipse: This happens when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the moon. Lunar eclipses can be total, partial, or penumbral, depending on the extent to which the moon is obscured by the Earth's shadow. In addition to these astronomical events, "eclipse" can also be used metaphorically to describe a situation where one thing is overshadowed or surpassed by another, often implying that the latter is more significant or influential. For example, someone's achievements may eclipse those of their predecessors, or a new technology may eclipse older methods. "Eclipse" can also refer to the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE), a popular software development platform used for coding, debugging, and testing software applications in various programming languages such as Java, C++, and Python. The Eclipse IDE provides a comprehensive set of tools and features to support software development projects. https://spotiapk.net/spotify-premium-apk-download/

    It feels like you’ve read a diary entry of mine. It does feel like opening one’s mind too big to try and fit the concept could make a person go mad. Thanks for this piece.

  • I related quite intensely to this acrostic; I am generally hovering between ecstasy and doom. brilliant piece.

    This is excellent Adam- it’s thought-provoking in so few words, and digs into the deep stuff. “Perhaps, that's why we perceive so little of it.” is a comforting thought and quite a good explanation. Great read, and nicely done:)

  • Congratulations for the Acrostic top story

  • Congratulations on the top story. Seeing the larger picture over the moment of an event is an interesting take on this challenge.
