The Northern lights were out tonight. The whole sky was filled with an amazing show of shifting, weaving, spinning colors. Normally when we see them its not nearly as impressive, but tonight they were everywhere. Sometimes, when you stand completely still you can hear them. It makes an odd buzzing/crackle all around you. It's like nothing I've ever heard in the world before. It surrounds you completely, coming from every direction at once. I imagine that if the earth spoke that is what it would sound like. It's a little chilly tonight, about -1 and completely clear. The moon is so bright out that it washes the light display out a bit, throwing some amazing shadows in the woods. One of these days I hope I can afford a good enough camera and muster the talent to capture on film what we see on nights like these. If you find yourself not believing in magic I would challenge you to come visit on the night of a full moon, when the Aurora are displaying. It will change your mind, I guarantee it. It's nice to see the lights again. In some ways it's like I'm getting a message from Glenda, letting me know that she's okay and everything will be all right. Its a renewal of faith, hope, love and magic that I've been needing desperately for a while now. I feel like I can live again.
