Aurora Borealis - Northern Lights
North Carolina
May 10, 2024
Seeing the Aurora Borealis for
the first time – in the southern part of the U.S. - was a life changing
experience.
We walked outside to our front
yard as the International Space Station (ISS) made its way quickly across the
sky. Parts of the sky became translucent
pink, with a little green near the horizon and whitish ‘fingers’ reaching across
the sky from overhead contained within the translucent pink
With my eyes only,
it looked like the remnants of a sunset, but the iPhone camera showed the amazing
reality – I was seeing THE Aurora Borealis….in North Carolina!
At the time, it
felt very personal – an experience with only my husband and nature – but in the
hours since, now realize this was a global, human experience – with all around the
world experiencing the same sky – pink, green, whitish ‘fingers’ overhead.
I am one with all that is the universe; I
trust in the wisdom of the universe.
We
are one.
