My Prayer
@susanquinn had perfect timing for me with her post, “Slip Slidin’ Away” on the Main feed. (If you see a post by Susan, stop scrolling and read it. Trust me on this.)
The day of the eclipse, I was at an event I helped organize, where families were viewing the Sun as much as we could through an overcast made of cement, building STEM kits, and driving Mars rovers through an apple orchard. I was giving out rockets I made from parts left over from the days when Pratt Hobbies sold rocket kits to schools and scout groups. Everyone was having a great time, and everything I posted on social media concentrated on the good stuff that was going on (except for that damn cloud cover). What I didn’t say was that I had to leave halfway through the day. My back just couldn’t take it. I had to go home and lie down.
