Nighttime Wonders

There was a lunar eclipse tonight, which was pretty amazing.
An unlike other skyward marvels, it stuck around long enough to absorb its details and colors. (Not like those hide-and-seek rainbows that last for just the blink of an eye.) Of course, our viewing was brief because it is so darn cold, and we were standing there on the deck, asking ourselves, "Is it doing anything? Is it changing?" We realized that not much was happening, once the original splendor was taken in, so we retreated inside.

I was a little perturbed initially because tonight is the second night in a row that I've been doing my Yoga program. Last night Jason interrupted me twice, once just to muse aloud about whether our dry cleaner will take back hangers.
"Don't you understand what I'm doing here?! You're ruining my flow!" I finally exclaimed, a little impatiently.
"I'm sorry," he shrank back just a little, "I didn't know there was a flow!"

So tonight when he came out and said, "Hey." I turned out of my downward facing dog and said, "Is this really time sensitive and important?"
Yes, a lunar eclipse that won't happen again until 2010 is kind of worthwhile interrupting flow.
Once outside I thanked him, and he replied, "Ok, you want to go inside?"
"Yes, please."
