The longest solar eclipse of the century

Earlier today, the moon passed directly in front of the sun, causing a total solar eclipse that crossed nearly half the Earth – through India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar and China. Today’s was the longest total solar eclipse of the 21st century, lasting as much as 6 minutes and 39 seconds in a few areas. Despite cloudy skies in many of the populated areas in the path, millions of people gathered outside to gaze up and view this rare event. Collected here are a few images of the eclipse, and those people who came out to watch. (33 photos total)

If you know me well you know that I am a huge believer in the Power of Now. The Power of Now is a concept – not just a fabulous book by renowned author Eckhart Tolle. The Power of Now is expressed in many profound ways but here is one of my favourite quotes from Power of Now guru Eckhart Tolle:

“There is no salvation in time. You cannot be free in the future. Presence is the key to freedom, so you can only be free now.”
Eckhart Tolle,  from The Power of Now.

I think I have read that book nearly 10 times and I continue to read it regularly – it speaks to me like no other book. Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor describes the essence of the Power of Now in a manner I have never heard before… from a scientific perspective that many intellectuals might find revealing.
