Fire in the Sky
I've been struggling with doubt for some time now- loving my path but not necessarily believing in it, loving my patron Brigid, but not really knowing if she's there. Trying to be faithful when you have such pervasive doubt is very exhausting, so yesterday I prayed for her to send me a sign, anything to ease this gnawing in my heart.

At about five in the evening I saw a orange glow coming in the living room window, it so filled the room, I assumed I had accidentally left a light on. As I reached the living room, I saw it was coming from outside, a massively orange sunset filled the entire sky. Everything was cast in orange and the sky looked as though it was on fire. Suddenly I felt as if my heart would burst. Running outside, I took these pictures:






They really didn't capture the intensity of the orange hue cast over the landscape, or the bright reds of the sunset. I'd like to think this is a sign from Brigid- of course part of me thinks that it's just the result of smoke from an increase in wood heating this time of year... Still, in my heart I really believe it was a sign. I've never seen a sunset like that before.
