Description
Thank you for your attention for yesterday's Loneliness 1! This was the introduction on the following story.
After I shot the close appearance of the moon and the three planets I walk back to the car. In the meanwhile I start praying. In the dark it just God and me - I can't even see the ground where I'm staying on. The accumulated pain of rejected love suddenly starts to come out, I stop walking, kneel down on the ground and start crying to God. After so many years I've still no girl-friend and it really really hurts.
While I was weeping I looked up and suddenly remained silent. A light-show had started and I was the only watcher of it at this location, it was the northern light! A deep red glow appeared and at the same time the words of Joshua 1:5 came in my mind, I will be with you; I will not fail you. God met me there at that moment. I was not alone!!! I thought I was alone but I was not! He was there, always, and I did not know. I cried, but now from happiness. I grabbed my cam, started to shoot this light-show that went on, green light under the red light and I thanked God in the meanwhile. A moment of heaven on earth!
It's exactly five years ago. I have still no girl-friend but... the sting of loneliness was healed and I am able to bear it since. Nowadays people ask about God. Well, one may call it coincidence - my life has had more 'coincidences' like these - but for me it's the present God, perhaps tacit but nevertheless the God who guides me and makes his promise true in never leaving me! And this special experience was something I wanted to share with you!
Loneliness can be killing. This world is drowning in communication-means but never has man be so alone as nowadays, especially in the industrialised world. If you're suffering from loneliness, make it open to discussion. Many people suffer less or more from loneliness but it asks courage to talk about it. Sharing burdens like these will reveal we're not alone having to bear this.
BTW, I should have known about this Geomagnetic Storm but I simply had not seen this announcement.

Hmmm, I've been away a few days but I just read this text. And I must admit: I'm an incurable atheist and I don't believe in God at all, but your words! You've got a true talent and I respect and admire your opinions...

WOW!!! Fantasy to the max. Beautiful Job. Aloha At first, I didn't quite read into your post except look at this wonderful art capture. I'm sorry I missed the in between lines of lonliness. This picture tells me that God can change the world when he wants to. I hope your world will mend as God had done with his. Aloha

I took time to translate your text what I always do not do and I was touched by your expression interior that you divided:) With the communication one can make change many things and to make known itself such as one is. .. One is likely more to find somebody who resembles to us especially when our truths value are not hidden. To know that there is somebody which is there for us already they are marvellous and this somebody could be who you also want of which you have a great friendship. Of a cordial voice like this sky, I wish you best than it can arrive to you and always keeps the hope;) I blow on your face to make dry with the case which a tear would run.... bisous:) C'est une tr belle photo et le temps est merveilleux.

This is quite the fascinating capture! I can't believe the red! It must have been a very emotional moment for you. Hang in there man...girl-friends aren't a necessity in life. I feel that society puts too much pressure on people to marry and have kids. I don't have a girl-friend and it doesn't bother me so much. Cheers - Matt

I'm glad you linked to this Jan Carel.In the first place,because it's an awesome shot and I have always wanted to see the Northern lights.But it's your story that has truly moved me.I had a similar experience,where I was very much alone,and feeling rather sorry for myself...crying and complaining silently about my having to be alone,to my deceased father.Well just at that moment,I turned the car on,and this old song from Seal started,"Don't Cry,(You're not alone)".No intro,just the song starting at the very beginning.And while that may seem small compared with your experience,it really gave me comfort.Suddenly,I didn't feel so alone anymore!We are never really alone,my friend.We just can't see those that walk with us.But sometimes,if we're lucky,they send us signs...I hope you are doing better now.Until you find that special girl,know you have many friends here!Hugs!-Marlene

Yes, awesome shot....you are very lucky to see the red variety...we see mostly green and blue! I like your story too...as for coincidence...I do not think so!...things are meant to happen to us, at the time we may not know why they happen but in time all things become clear!
