Welcome to the Ice Age

Went out to a concert that was staged in complete darkness by a couple of blind Malian musicians courtesy of a dear new friend. It reminded me how much I am constantly guided by my vision. This is one of the first things I saw outside the venue when my sight was returned to me...As the curtains finally drew back, there was a lighting effect onstage resembling an eclipse. I remembered that, less than a month ago, around eleven at night and when I was in Spain, I came out of the swimming pool dripping wet and ran through the house to watch an eclipse. It was curious to be standing almost naked beneath the moon that glowered like an orange egg over the mountain, faded, and was extinguished. I was shivering by the time it became bright again.
