I was out on the Camino at 0345 today. The eclipse had just started and the forward edge of the earth’s shadow was just starting across the moon. I watched for maybe forty five minutes until it was almost all the way across. I tried to visualize the size of the earth’s shadow and concluded that it was way bigger than the moon and therefore would require a while for the trailing edge to start across. But at that point the clouds rolled in, covered the moon and I went back to bed.

But I had some nice quiet time out under the Big Dipper, admiring the whole situation. Praise to our Creator would be appropriate. I really needed that after the heaviness of the last two days. Tonight I think that I will go and attend the Easter Vigil where a new member, Morgan, will take her First Communion like I did two years ago now.

I am going to keep this short today but I wanted to bring to you the first installment of Catherine and Dana’s Camino! I got their first email today from St. John. I will publish everything that they send to me as I get it, no matter what else we are doing.

Well, it’s all happening all the time, love you, Felipe.
