We are all so atomised. And then an eclipse happens. And an aurora. And we all share something wonderful, however briefly. It's like back when there were only two channels and we all watched the same game, the same final, the same finale, again.
More of this please, shared humanity, sharing wonder.

My 15 yr old son found this "note" in my old jacket. He said "it just has random numbers and a name." I told him that it's a telephone number. His mind was blown that we didn't need area codes in the olden days 🤣
