Northern Lights

Last nite the Northern Lights were out. Supernatural splendor. First time I've seen the whole spectrum, including the lower red rim...

We stood as a family... Christina clutching me, a bit frightened, as bright curtains of light sprang toward us... drawing nearer & still nearer till it was, at last, shining directly upon us, our heads tilted back, necks aching as spokes of light rained shimmering rays of illumination over and upon us. Then it ended. The strange night lightshow dissipated as quickly as it had emerged.

That sounds amazing. There are times when life just seems to drag you down and then you get to experience something like this to keep the hope of magic and meaning alive. Pretty cool.
