I glanced up another day and saw the Aurora Borealis.
At my latitude. Indoors. By daylight.

The shallow glass bowl of my birdbath was spending the winter as a decoration in the living room. While cleaning the room, I happened to set the bowl down under a window where sunlight could reflect from the bowl and then from the ceiling.
The Northern Lights came to mind when I glanced up at the reflections on the ceiling, and I later darkened the gray look of the dimly lit white ceiling to accentuate the effect.
The adjective [serendipitous] was coined long after people stopped speaking Latin routinely. I guess that either [serendipita] or [serendipitis] would work, if the Vatican ever wants to modify a feminine noun with a Latin version of [serendipitous] in a papal bull. I went with the one that sounds better and looks less like a spelling error.

Your essay shows that it’s good to have a camera at hand. By the way, have you ever seen the real Northern Lights?

Just once (apart from admiring pix), when I lived in the Boston area. Dull by arctic standards, but a rare thrill that far south.
