Never. Stop. Learning
You know how people always say kids’ minds are like sponges? That there is no limit to how much they can learn and absorb? I’ve always been fascinated and frankly somewhat jealous of this capability in kids. I have seen it unfold with my own children. How they were able to learn two languages simultaneously or learn piano and quickly progress through it. That’s some true talent!

While these eclipse cycles have been occurring for millions of years, Mother nature, a true artist, once again left us…
