The Sky I Am Moving Under

By Cosmos Sunseeker

Someone sent me a film about the lights over Iceland and I watched it twice without once checking the time. What struck me is that the aurora does not perform. It comes over empty ground exactly as it comes over a crowd. I have spent months telling myself this move is about the retreat, the partnership, the housing, when part of it is simpler: I want to stand under something that large and quiet for a while. Leaving it here in case you need the same reminder tonight.
