the northern lights

were absolutely amazing last night. my place of business has an amazing deck that overlooks the bay and to the north last night they came out brighter than ever. it was mostly hues of green. like a big green poisonous cloud took over the sky and gained in mass before your eyes.
it is not a slow drawn out process, but rather it has gradual changes in every form imaginable at somewhat of a snails pace. i felt like a baby watching it. trying to understand what i was seeing but being in awe at the colors and shapes in front of me.
it was about 1:30am when all this happened. the locals were completely trashed celebrating a local girls wedding, falling all over the place, breaking bottles, chairs turned over, smoky conversations, people collapsing in laughter, taking off clothes, girls running around looking for their boyfriends in arms of other girls and i stood in the middle of it all, not making a sound, looking up.
