Monday Mercies: On Eclipse

for 04/08/2024

Happy Monday - solar eclipse day in North America! Words to ponder, and lift your week:

darkness enables detection - Luke Leisman

behind the Moon …

Eclips disastrous twilight - John Milton (Paradise Lost, Book 1, lines 596-597)

Have a wonderful week!

Monday Mercies use an experimental writing form - the “three word mercy” to share a little lift for your week - a small reminder to keep looking up. To read more about what we’re doing here, check out this post.

Mercies are conversations, something you can do too. To quote my mercy teacher: Try it, you’ll like it. I’d love to highlight your mercies too. To submit your own mercies for potential distribution, email them to me at lukeleisman@substack.com!
