Several days ago, I, as you too might have, witnessed the “eclipse” of the sun. At that time, a portion of our earth was in the shadow of the moon.  Of course, for us here in NY, it was only a partial eclipse of the sun. As the writer Annie Dillard so aptly put it in her classic essay Total Eclipse, “Seeing a partial eclipse bears the same relation to seeing a total eclipse as kissing a man does to marrying him.” In other words, pleasant but not earth-shattering!
