br. patrick and his near-death experiences...
Shakesthecoffecan:
Br. Patrick thank you so much for the k.d. lang dvd. I watched all of it again last night, and was struck how t times she looks like Jake Gyllenhaal and sometimes like Kevin Spacey. Dng she can sing. When I think of how she snaped out of her industrial grundge punk phase I am so glad she did. What a waste of talent she could have been otherwise.
Hope you have a wonderful day.

in lovely shades of pink and blue,
wisps of cloud hovering over the rooftops,
golden light filtering through my window,
the trees swaying in the breeze (I wish them well),
the birds flying amongst branch and fencepost,
roof and wall, heart and soul.

I remember well the only time I have seen the northern lights.
We were outside, it was in cold weather and thought a house must be on fire nearby so we set out to see other peoples misery.
It always seemed to be just over the next hill, over the next rise, had to be. The idea of a fire passed out of mind but what was it? Finally we got to a place we could make out some undulating in the light in the shimmering red and it went on like a light bulb, it was the northern lights, this far south.
I remember my father talking about seeing them, back in the 1920s, perhaps it was the last time they had reached this far south. I wondered about the sound they made on the electromagnetic scale, and if someone at a polar station was listening to them.
It was a warm night and we got out and leaned against the front of the truck, and took in the show for a good while. :)

The only time I have seen the Northern Lights was when I must have been about 10. I grew up on a farm and my best friend & I watched the intense~! show until his parents made him go in for the night. It must have been autumn because I remember I was wearing a light jacket. Nobody cared how long I stayed up so I went into the field across the road from our farm and laid on the ground .. for hours... I was 10 in 1964 so maybe that is when you saw them too?
It was an intense visual display and I have never seen anything like it since. At one point it looked as if 'someone' dumped a pail of red paint in the eastern sky and it 'spilled' rapidly to the west. From what I understand 'red' is an unusual color for the aurora. So the pictures above would be considered unusual. Below is a more common manifestation of the lights.
I can definitely say that for me it was a Peak Spiritual Experience~!
{{{Cyberhugs}}} and I'm so glad you appreciate the VHS dub...
