“Hidden Presence”

There is this particular moment — on the edge of day and night — when the sun rises or fades, and the aurora changes its visibility. At sunrise it seems to dissolve into the first rays, becoming invisible to the eye, even though it never disappears. It simply yields to the sunlight, remaining in the sky like a breath, a subtle vibration, a trail of color you can feel more than see.

And in the evening everything happens in reverse: the sun sinks below the horizon, and the aurora begins to emerge — at first faintly, like a shadow of color, then bolder, until it becomes part of the sky again.

This transition is the most magical of all — the moment when two lights meet, and one becomes visible only when the other is ready to step aside.
