Here’s Sammi’s weekend writing prompt, and my response:
AURORA BOREALIS
The northern lights took the form of giant feather plumes that night, and I, alone in the house, felt sheltered and comforted under the heavenly glow rippling above.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This actually happened one night some years back. Edgy because my husband was away on a trip, I glanced outside around midnight and saw a lot of lights in the eastern sky. I went outside to get a better look and discovered that the aurora was not only in the north and east, but completely circled our village in the sky above. I’ve never seen northern lights in the south before and probably never will again. Others who also saw them commented on how spectacular, and how widespread, they were that night.
Of course I thought of angel feathers, then the Bible verse:
“He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.” Psalm 91:4
How beautiful and how lucky you are to have witnessed it at a time you needed to!

It really was indescribably wonderful to be circled around with white “feathers” — and very comforting. someone was watching over me. 🙂

Great minds think alike…and so do some of us with relatively normal minds. 😉
Thanks for your comment, Linda.

I think my mind is totally normal. Maybe sometimes even a little abnormal 🙂
