Eclipsing the Cynics
G.K. Chesterton wrote that coincidences are spiritual puns. And those spiritual puns just kept coming
The week before the recent solar eclipse, an extensive nor’easter disabled power to hundreds of thousands. On the Friday before the celestial happenings, a rare 4.8 earthquake centered in New Jersey shook a good part of the Northeastjust days after a much larger quake in Taiwan – 7.4 magnitude – collapsed buildings resulting in at least 13 deaths.
