SurrealLast night I had a very interesting experience. I was getting myself ready for bed, when my husband went out to let the Dog's in for the night. He came back and told me that I needed to come outside with him. I looked at him like he was crazy, after all it was about 9 degrees outside (Fahrenheit for those who care). Anyway, he insisted that I needed to see something and he would meet me outside.
I proceeded to get dressed in the usual outside gear and headed to the back door. Keep in mind that it was about 10:30 pm at this point. When I opened up the door, it was as light as day. My husband was standing clear across the yard from me, yet I could see every feature of his face. It was lightly snowing, so there were high level clouds everywhere, you could not see a single star, yet the clouds were somehow lit up from beneath.
I know that it was probably just reflecting light back at us, but I wonder where the original light was coming from. I live in a rural community where we have a street light every few blocks or so, but I get nervous going out at night because of how dark it gets. Yet last night, I could see everything. It wasn't a natural light that we see from the sun, it somehow felt artificial. The entire world seemed hushed. It was very peaceful and yet very strange at the same time. We talked out there in the back yard for about an hour as our dogs ran around us and acted like puppies.
Copper,(the golden retriever) was leaping around in the snow like a gazelle, while Phnarph, (the little guy) tried to take him down. Copper would then lay down in the snow to pretend that Phnarph had actually wrestled him to the ground. Just to let the little one feel all important. It was almost like there was some sort of bug flying around infecting us all, but I felt more light hearted out there than I have in quite some time. I was loath to return to the inside world, yet we were feeling the effects of long lengths of time in the cold, so we regrettably headed indoors.
Whatever the phenomenon was last night, I hope it happens again sometime soon. A surreal experience for sure. It was darker this morning at 7 am than all of last night.
