Heaven’s Heartbeat is my interpretations of how when I first seen the Arora Australis (Southern Lights) The first time I seen the Arora Australis (Southern Lights) I was standing in a paddock with my mother and father, I thought that the heavens was exploding and that maybe it was the end of the world. The night sky was filled with pulsating lights of many colours, even though I felt frightened I was held in awe at the beauty of this special light show in the heavens. As I held tight to my father’s hand he told me I had nothing to be scared about. because all living things have a heart beat and as the heaven is alive with many hearts so to does heaven’s heart beat and what I was seeing was the the many colours that made up the heart beat of the heavens, and only on very special occasions do we on earth have the privilege to see such a wonderful thing as it is a sign from the great creator to let us know that we are very much loved I was told to lay down in the grass and look at the heavens I felt as though I not only could see the beat I felt as though my very being could feel the rhymic beat of the heart of heaven as the pulsating wonderful array of colours pulsed out its rhymic beat. Even though today logic tells me when I see the Southern Lights it is the sun reflecting off of the ice caps, but to me I prefer to believe it real is “Heaven’s Heartbeat”. A true wonder to behold.
