Northern Lights Quotes

“Since the summer’s end, I’ve reconnected with my first love again: time alone in the quiet stillness of nature to think, walk, write, and dream. It’s in those times apart, away from normal life, where my spirit is refreshed and renewed. It’s in the quiet, solitary, and often silent times that I feel the most connected to life, the most alive, the most at peace, and the closest to the divine. I feel like my spirit has been renewed, and I’ve been completely reborn.”

“The northern lights are a rare sight, even up here in the Boundary Waters. They’re unpredictable, elusive, and mysterious. It takes time and patience and a willingness to wait, sometimes all night, to get to see them. Then at the most unexpected times, they show up, usually in the middle of the night. Out of nowhere, they appear, falling like silvery rain in the night sky, swirling and dancing across the northern horizon in complete silence—graceful, delicate, silent, and peaceful. They’re a beautiful surprise. When you experience them, you realize how lucky you are to get to witness such incredible beauty. They shine and glow for a while, and then they’re gone. The memory is all you have left, but it stays with you—amazing, special, and unique.”

“They say the gods and goddesses used to walk the earth long ago before being cast up into the heavens. I wonder . . . what if it were true? What if some of them actually did return to visit us from time to time in the moments that we needed them most. I think it’s possible. No, actually, I think they have.”
