A Birthday Beneath the Northern Lights
This is not a claim, a theory, or an attempt to convince any one of anything.
It is a personal account of awe, memory, Indigenous resonance, and what it felt like to witness the Northern Lights for the first time.
I’m sharing it as lived experience not as proof, but as reflection.
There is so much that I want to uncover, considering this is the first time I have ever created my first blog. It is hard enough for us modern critical thinkers to find a safe place to speak on our experiences and knowledge, as main stream platforms holds a space for people that can become contradictory to your words. But here I feel safe.
I’ll start with Norway, since this is the most recent experience I have had that was very close to everything I have written in my journals at home, or conversations I have had with my closest people. One thing you’ll always find me talking about is our coexistence with the universe. How if you look down from a plane and silence your human ego, you can rapidly tell how small we are, and how enormous our consciousness is.
I have Taino Indigenous blood in my system as I was born in Puerto Rico, I always wanted to wonder the world, my credit score is horrible alongside my financials, but somehow I made it possible to travel to 6 different countries and making back safe. Everything I wanted was purely manifested, I traveled to the UK (London), Norway, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, and France.
In Norway, I wanted to see the Northern Lights, I have been for a while, when I arrived to Tromsø, I had no idea what was to come, but all I can say is that I felt at home, it was a feeling I have not felt anywhere else in the world, except my motherland Puerto Rico. I went to see the Reindeers first, during that excursion the Sami Guide spoke to us about THEIR Indigenous culture and how THEY coexist with The Earth and The Universe, afterwards I promised the guide that The Earth will be taken care of, and that the stars will align us to live a long beautiful life alongside with the planet. That our cultures, animals, and the planet WILL be protected.
After, I stargazed right before getting on the bus to go back to Tromsø the main city. I noticed something so beautiful, The Seven Sisters (the Pleiades / Messier 45) standing right above me, as it usually does in Western Massachusetts which I felt connected to since I was 17 years old.
Afterwards when arriving home it was about to be 12A.M November 23rd which was my birthday, my 26th birthday. The Northern lights came out, and performed a show. I spoke to them and I apologized for the people who constantly live in low frequencies causing mass planetary destructions. And I promised that we will protect the planet and every star of the universe as long as I live. The Northern Lights Danced.
The best part, I got a bit greedy haha, and I asked "Can I please see a UFO, or at least a shooting star?” I’m tearing up as I type this, and then suddenly, my best friend yells “LOOK!” We both look up and a gigantic shooting star flew right by us at the speed of light. It made me realize, although we might be a speck to the universe, every thought, every word, and every energy is being recorded and taken into account by the universe. So I guess I’ll start here, and I promise there is more to come.
