The edge of Ideas. The edge of Connections. The edge of the Unknown. And... in 2020... reading my way (again) through a hefty list of World-Changing books.

Northern Lights
This week there's a workshop in Yellowknife... the middle of February in Yellowknife. What a great place to be! I've never been to Yellowknife before, nor the NWT. So now, I can add another notch to my belt and add another territory/province to my list... I am looking forward to seeing the northern lights. So, I'm praying for clear, cold weather... and whatever else is necessary for the light show to happen. If I have to get up at 2 am to see them... then I'll do that! So, we'll see how it goes... I've seen them a few times in my life, but very faint and not very spectacular. There's something compelling about them... to think that solar winds in our upper atmosphere can create these amazing paintings of colour, ever changing and ever moving. It makes all of our human endeavours seem kind of small and insignificant... Even fireworks can't compare... So, here's keeping my fingers crossed!!!

Quite a number of years ago when living in Fort ST. John I remember seeing the Lights for the first times. My jaw dropped! There's nothing on the Coast like them, in fact nothing like them anywhere. Artists try to capture their beauty and mystery but can never quite succeed...they are truly a wonderful phenomenon.
