There's definitely something wrong...

Last night I took the Northern Lights for granted. In my rush from here to there and then there I stopped for only the briefest moment to watch, lamenting that my new apartment is too close to the lights of downtown to really get a feel for the dancing lights up there, wishing I had time to drive to the outskirts of town to sit and look for a spell.

But then I was in the car whizzing here to pick up that and then to the store and then...

And then I forgot to look up again. I forgot until much, much later and by then those rare and beautiful dancing lights had said goodnight.

I forgot to look up again. And I missed them.
