In a field in central Oregon in 2017, I waited along with dozens of other people.

For just a few moments, the whole world came into focus, in relief. Like the moment after a camera flashes.

I felt the temperature drop 20 degrees, and for just a moment, all these impossibly distant celestial bodies were suddenly real to my life in a way they weren't before

The whole world was suddenly real

I noticed the sun starting to peak out, and I shouted to everyone around, "glasses on!"
