It had been rainy and overcast all day on Tuesday, June 5 — less than a month ago, yet somehow it feels like another dimension away now. I had given up on trying to view the Venus transit, instead making plans to celebrate with some inner journeying. I was trying to finish up some work when the clouds finally parted. It was still a good half hour before first contact between Venus and the Sun was supposed to occur; I was antsy to move around and needed to work on my lines for a play, so I decided to take a walk until the transit began.
