Distant Wonders
distant wonders fill the skies
a rainbow feast for our eyes
creating a magical sight
on this glorious night
~
watching heaven’s aurora show
the sky dancing with lights aglow
wonders to dazzle and amaze
setting my heart ablaze
~
This awesome photo of the aurora borealis by Shane Michael Black on igviews.com inspired me today.
May we find wonders near and far!

It really is a wonder, isn’t it Brad? Thanks so much for sharing it … good medicine for a very cold Tuesday morning here in NY! Blessings. Jamie

Yes, the aurora is a beautiful wonder that I hope to see live one day! I’m glad my post helps warm you on these cold winter days. Hopefully, you aren’t buried in snow like in Mass.

Thanks Julie. I prefer to use my own photos but I haven’t seen the aurora live. Do you ever see them in MN?

We do get them here. I’ve seen faint hints of green swirls in the northern skies a few times while living outside of the city, and it was so exciting, but it wasn’t anything very elaborate, and certainly wasn’t anything that could have been photographed. It would be such a dream to go to someplace like Norway or even Alaska to watch them in all their glory…

I love the star filled nights too Sue, but haven’t seen anything like this photo. That would take serious wilderness at much more Northern latitudes. It’s on my wish list! To stars and wonder! 🙂

I love your final statement – find wonders both near and far. It seems so easy at times to look far out into the depths of outer space and be amazed by the workings of Mother Nature. And yet, we often turn a blind eye to those wonders right in front of our eyes. May those wonders from afar remind us to appreciate all wonders, near and far. Thanks for sharing Brad 😉

Thanks Randall. Truthfully, it’s been a while since I was in a remote area to see the sky sparkling with distant stars, sitting and pondering as you mention. Thankfully, I have my memories and the web photos to remind me. 🙂
