Borealis in the Sky

I came home about 1:15a this morning and stepped out of the car. In the sky were streaks of gray caressing the heavens. I took a broader look around and suddenly noticed the lights of the Aurora Borealis. It was amazing! Like a painting in the sky. Then on the northern horizon was a dancing, swirling line of greens, and sometimes violets, moving about quickly. I was kinda scared at first, standing out on the middle of the street, with no one around, with only a few areas lit up by the street lamps. I didn't think anyone was up anyways. Moments later, I got a call from my bro, Jon, and he was outside watching the lights too. Apparently, he was also kinda scared so he came by and we walked toward the darker area in my neighborhood to experience the full force of the lights. I have honestly never seen the Borealis in Wisconsin in all the years I've lived here. I didn't even know they came this low in our hemisphere. It's something I'll remember always because I can now recall my thoughts whilst watching the Borealis. I can imagine that one without technology and knowledge of these lights would think this a message of God but for today, it gave me a re-realization of how small we are in the universe.
