December 16th - 25 Days - Aurora Borealis
On the coldest days of winter, when I was young, there were a few special nights when my parents would call us outside and we would get brief glimpses of the Northern Lights. It was rare, it was brief, it was beautiful.
The term Aurora Borealis is derived from the Greek words “Aurora” meaning “sunrise” and “Boreas” meaning “wind”. The Greeks held that Aurora was the sister of Helios and Seline, the sun and moon respectively, and that she raced across the early morning sky in her multi-colored chariot to alert her siblings to the dawning of a new day. I love the ancient Greek meaning - and the knowledge that tomorrow is always a new day!
