I found myself on the Pacific shore in Mexico on Monday, April 8, 2024 (have you tried searching “April 8, 2024” with Google and seeing what happens?) and for exactly 4 mins (from 11:08am to 11:12am) I witnessed what I consider a celestial miracle. My brain can barely comprehend the physical size of these massive orbs and further, how they lined up so precisely in the quiet of space - it feels divine. C.S. Lewis described the miraculous as “an interference with Nature by supernatural power”.

The eclipse is a miracle that demands to be acknowledged. For me I stood on the edge of the Pacific Ocean and watched how the sun disappeared and reappeared creating a spectacle of light and shadow in a very new way for me - I had never seen such colors in the atmosphere or reflecting on the water in all my years of studying and observing the ocean. It wasn’t a sunset or sunrise - it was a mixture of both. I was so taken back by the duality - I felt like my eyes where playing tricks on me. My chest and heart filled with warmth and I wept. I felt my own significance and gratitude for the one in a trillion chance I get to be alive. The immediacy of life and death and life again is what I felt with the eclipse. I felt a version of me die to make room for a new life. I sat down and didnt move for an hour as my mind flooded with a playback of my life. Its with these emotions and thoughts I created Eclipse No. 1 (who knows if I will ever make a No. 2) a 48” x 60” Oil on Canvas painting depicting how I witnessed the Pacific ocean in Mexico on April 8, 2024 at approx 11:11 am.

The original painting sits in the collection of Nate Walkinshaw in Utah.
