Northern Lights

Just came in from tucking in the dogs for the night and was greeted with the most beautiful display of northern lights. Greens are common here but there were touches of white and red faint within... such a rare blessing to see that.

I joined the dogs in their nightly song and called to Iris and Ursa wishing for them to be with me. As I turned towards the house a band of green light peaked in the sky looking so much like a howling dog, much like the slender build of my Iris. Ive never seen the lights do that before...

On the trail on our way out of the White Mountains I had a raven fly over my head and down the length of the team three separate times. He was so close I could count the toes on each of his feet...

I felt so touched in those moments... perhaps that was another sign from my girls. A sign that they never have left me...

... it is to those moments that I cling on to the hope that they live on and will never forget me as I have never forgotten them...
