My son’s friend was on a trip to Cordova for school, and while on the boat late at night to cross back to Anchorage, the northern lights were out in full form. Pinks and purples even, she told me. Most often the lights are a ghostly green that you don’t notice until they begin to move less like clouds and more like spirits. The flame reds and purples are rarer, but much more noticeable as not cloud imposters, but as waving, sun-originating flares that reached these northern night skies.
Think of what the trees learn from their underground connections though, that we are only now really beginning to understand exist. Maybe they are able to feel these sensations as if they are somewhere else. Imagine that!
I was at the ocean this weekend. And I was thinking about that surf, the endless waves, and how no matter where I am – like here at my desk now, 600 or so miles away – they are still stroking that coast. And while I was there, thinking of that, I was thinking of the river I wander along, the creeks I visit on hikes. While I was watching the ocean, they were going on about the business of feeding it.
What a world. This post of yours is about the only thing I've read since logging back on that didn't make me want to make just turn off all this other bullshit and just sink down into it.
