Connectedness

"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic - the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

This is one of the photos my son Nate sent to the family when he told us to go outside to see the northern lights a few nights ago. I love everything about it....and am just now noticing the green on the horizon. Pure Joy!

Since that evening....I've seen dozens and dozens of photos of the lights on Facebook and Instagram from people all over the United States....and the world...in every color that you can imagine.

Then I got a delightful email this morning from Kate from the UK also celebrating the aurora borealis from across the Atlantic. 

Kate pointed out that this Charles de Lint quote that sits at the header of the online version of my blog was even more meaningful at a time like this. So many of us were experiencing the the color...light and beauty of the northern lights all at the very same time. And it all happened in the darkness. Kate pointed out the "eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity."  Inexplicable connectedness at its best! 

We are not alone! Thanks Kate!
