“Sky Show”
“Their attention was drawn upward to the sky, which was performing a magic such as none of them had ever imagined possible. The noontime sun had disappeared, and in its place were cascades of northern lights. Immense multi-hued prisms, like kaleidoscopes fashioned from watermelon tourmaline, like psychedelic meteor showers, stretched down to Earth from the heavens. Then these gave way to single-toned feathers of soft colors—aqua, teal, pale rose, and vivid green—that seemed to be gently floating down towards the earth. The sky looked like the product of a master colorist who was caught up in a profound ethereal dance of the soul. The poignant beauty of these immense swathes of pigment flowing across and down from the heavens was nothing short of mesmerizing.”
