A-mazing

By midnight, Sam and i got to Hal's to pick up the LFR fuel truck Sam left there this afternoon. After dumping a few gallons of gas in the red Ford dualie that we drove there, I looked up at the sky. And I saw them-the Northern lights. This was a real display that spanned a good fragment of the blackness above. They were white but radiant, the dazzling, dancing spectacle that I wanted so much to see before I had to leave. I was reminded too of the first time i saw them in reality. It was when Daisy [sorry, here I go again] and i were walking the runway at 1:30 at night after i had just told her that i like her and am helplessly infatuated by her. That was over a month ago, and I had not seen them since then, until tonight. It was very unusual for Daisy and I to have seen them so early in the year, but now i speculate of whether it were a miracle of creation God showed us that night to reveal a message.
The loneliness, I am glad but careful (lest I be tempted during my lowered defenses) to report, is subsiding. I appreciate what Angela took time to write to me today. "This is a season that God is allowing you to experience. Keep looking to Him for your primary comfort." Out of her kindness, she said that she were here with me. I would be happier if she were, but as she said, I need to go through this season. I'm reminiscing now about the last day I saw her. We had a terrific ride into Lake Hood, and at the airport she walked beside and hooked my arm with hers and said, "you will escort me to the gate." After a few final and heartfelt words, we parted ways. I watched her until she disappeared down the hallway. What a precious memory that is.
Anyway...
The skies dropped rain on us for most of the day. And guess who was not here.
okay, i'll quit that now. Goodnight.

Lucky.

You'd better try to get some pictures for me. Set your aperture open wide, or make it a long shutter speed, if you can adjust it. Otherwise, I guess I'll just have to google it.
