The eclipse was extremely symbolic to me as I’m just over one year sober from a deadly fentanyl addiction. So grateful to have made it out alive to witness it. “He restoreth my soul”

You can do it. You are doing it. When you feel that urge, move. Dont cave. Walk, run, clean, drive, swim, bike, just move your body. What will happen is a physiologic response in the brain. When you move, you will be retraining your brain to replace one "feel good" with the "real good" activity produced by endorphins. This is built in "mechanism" within every human created by GOD. Love to you. There are others in your life who you can help and bring joy to....increasing your own joy by giving, TENFOLD. ❤

I was in SE Dallas in Ennis. It was amazing and completely clear for the entire totality 4 min. 23 seconds. Amanzing view and it is nothing like the photos we see online.

Was it completely dark?

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

@@pm110978 There was orangey light all around the horizon. The sky goes a deep violet-black. The only light is from the solar corona and the horizon, so it's about as bright as a quarter moon. Quite dark.

Breathtakingly beautiful! Thanks for the beautiful video! ☀️🌕🌑🕶️

This eclipse, being so phenomenal, caused no structural damage anywhere. Nice.

Those people amazed… omg

The total eclipse is amazing, but where I lived we could only see a partial eclipse.

[@evonne315]

The moon and sun fit perfectly together.

Not quite, but very close.

I saw it in Medville pa. Amazing.. Totally incredible

I was in Burlington, VT. It was quite a spectacular sight to see

I was In Rochester and it was unfortunately very cloudy so we couldn’t see the corona but it still got dark. I’m bummed that we couldn’t see it but atleast we saw something

[@notb98]

Same thing just east of Toronto. Apparently the clouds did thin enough to see it for a few seconds in Hamilton and Niagara Falls.

[@mikebythesun]

Great piece! It captured a lot of the awe and emotion of the day. I was there, too, at Lake Champlain. It was my second total eclipse (first in 2017) and it left me just as stunned as the first one. Literally breathtaking to see this in person. The videos and photos don’t do it any justice.

[@Bjorn9284]

The cloud's actually made it to where you could see every detail. Even the cell phone got great video And the sun dog's in the clouds around it all. WoW!! Those colors! Dallas Tx

[@deviectristyantoko5121]

Wow how lucky you all are...

[@MelaninBarbie33]

Who else missed the total coverage because of the disrespectful clouds getting in the way?

[@user-hq2qq1si6n]

We got lucky in Terre Haute, IN. The cloud cover came through about 3 hours earlier than forecasted. We got a totally unobstructed view of the most spectacular event I have ever seen. My condolences to you for not being able to have the same experience.😢

I witnessed this. I highly recommend everyone travel to see this if you can at least once in your life.

I was one of 31+ million to see it. I loved it.

Me too, in Southeast Missouri.

God Bless you All, for sharing this Historic Event. I am currently in Puerto Rico and we couldnot experience this here, visiting my Mom.But my Son in Rochester, New York was able to see it ,where i live at. And iam Truly Happy to ser All the Wonderful Videos from different States.So Glad Everyone had this Celestial Life Experience.Blessings to All! Amen ! 🙏💖🙏 😇 🌏 🌞 🌚🥰

[@Endzoneproductions17]

I’m from there so my family saw it, but I’m away at college so I didn’t see the full eclipse. They said it was really cloudy but it did look pretty dark. Apparently some of the animals thought it was night

[@deltaflyer9078]

Saw it in Sparta Illinois! Well worth it, I’ll never forget the sight!

[@raisotope]

Dayton Ohio The eclipse was astounding!!! Not gonna see one here likely ever again. Very glad to be here today!!!

[@user-hq2qq1si6n]

I didn’t get all the hype until I saw it with my own eyes. If at all possible I am planning my future vacations where solar eclipses will be. I truly felt at peace with the entire universe.

Glory of humanity? Only glory is of and goes to God. No one 'came together in unity today except for the delusional; this was the sign of Jonah (Nineveh).

[@user-ev3cn4rn4r]

Why do you use the rainbow sign together with God?! The Bible is clear, about declaring, that Homosexuality is a sin. So it is very disturbing to see your combination…. Because God is holy and sin is unholy.

[@TheDancefreak35]

@@user-ev3cn4rn4r God is homophobic. What a loving figure that god is. We should have more of that. Spreading hate and judging people based on their orientation. Yes, great!! We want to worship that god every day. Either he's a coward for not showing himself or he doesn't exist. It will probably be the last. Another mystery solved.

[@DanBorgia]

What an experience, so worth it. Flew from San Diego to Cleveland (originally was going to Dallas but the cloud cover forecasts made me worry)

[@shirleynistler132]

My husband & friends from church drove from Mn. to Branson, then down to about 100 miles into Arkansas. We viewed the total Eclipse, & a very kind woman highway State Trooper stopped to check on us. A true sign that there are alot of very good people in our USA. The birds started treeting just before the total Eclipse. Temp. dropped, was almost like dusk. It was worth the trip. Yes, God is up there!! Peace on Earth! .

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. Most Magnificent display of His Majesty and precision for us to witness and remember Him. It’s no coincidence that the Sun and Moon are at the perfect distance, orbit and proportions and we are the only creation to comprehend the power behind it. Those who are dead inside will watch a say “oh wow” instead of giving praise and glory to their Lord. How perfect is Allah the Best to Create and far above what they falsely associate in worship with Him.
