day 19 - auroraboros / ouroborealis
i don't have any lore for this one it's pretty self explanatory.
honestly why does no one ever talk about how utterly insane aurora borealis is????? there's literally just magic shifting colorful lights in the sky sometimes in some places. why is this not a focal point of tons of pop culture media? we act like that's just normal, nobody speaks about it with utter awe, it's just a thing that exists to us.
not that i mind that it isn't a massive focal point of pop culture. my own little slice of underappreciated wonder.
i recently realized i didn't even know what causes aurora borealis. i could not possibly even fathom it. it may as well have literally been magic to me. i rarely get something like that anymore. some amazing phenomenon, the origins of which i could never imagine. that whimsy, the magic of the unknown, is a scarcity these days as we learn more and more about the world. no stone unturned, no event unexplained.
about a week later i learned what it was.
i'm going to spare you from that information. you may look it up if you so wish. or you may continue to live in wonder.
i think this is the beginning of my obsession with aurora borealis.
i'd love to see it some day.
