My Rainbow of Dancing Lights |

I sit facing the frigid arctic wind wondering silently what the fall of night might bring. Soon, a frosted crescent November moon will hang in anticipation, waiting for some sign of winter’s most stellar magnificence, the rainbow of dancing lights. Lady Aurora never disappoints. Like some magical ballroom dancer dressed in a sparkling glittering gown, she twirls and spins in a dazzling myriad of electric blues and greens, violets, bold splashes of cream and orange and sometimes, reds. Whatever she gifts you captivates, holds you spellbound. Those who live under her natural power never tire of her mesmerizing beauty and grace. I still see her magnificent dance when I close my eyes on a frigid cold night, though I no longer live near the arctic circle ‘neath the northern polar queen, the rainbow of dancing lights. Once you experience the northern lights, they remain part of you forever. |

I saw them once in Montana when I was out in the boon-docks in the middle of the night and they were mostly green, but I know what you mean about the dancing...I'll never forget how they shimmered. Beautiful write BTW. |

Something I have always wanted to see, Kacy and your words probably brought me as close to the Northern Lights as I'm ever going to get. Just beautiful. iDA |

Kacy, the tears are coursing down my cheeks at the sheer beauty of your words and the magnanimity and strength and purity of your spirit, despite the health struggles you are having to overcome every day. May your path back to health be blessed with more and more flowers every day as well as shady trees with sunlight filtering through in just the right amounts. Love and very, very gentle hugs - Owl |
