Lightening Strikes

I wish I could have shown you the lightening storm we were blessed with late last night. It was stunning, awe-inspiring, humbling, magical…and musical. To the west the thunder rumbled on forever and echoed for longer than that. At the same time the sky directly above me was filled with bright stars that looked as if they were dancing to a ceremonial drum. I made wishes for Peace and Love and surprises.
After I pinched myself to make sure I was awake, I got my husband out of bed to see it. He got up willingly and without complaint. He was as amazed by the beauty and power of nature as I was. I was my awe-struck- little- girl- self in love with the mystery of the universe. I couldn't’t go back to sleep until the storm passed.
