Illumination XXVI, Jokulsarlon, Iceland, 2012<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Motion picture director Wood Allen famously remarked, \u201c80% of success is just showing up.\u201d One wintry night at Iceland\u2019s glacial lagoon (Jokulsarlon) it seemed like all I had to do was show up. The heavens danced with aurora borealis\u2019 green fire for hours. Cascades of light appeared and disappeared dynamically illuminating the heavens with a light brighter than the stars and moon rising above the dormant volcano, icecap, glaciers, frozen lagoon, icebergs, black sand beaches, and crashing surf. The waves of radiation formed and reformed into shapes suggesting animals, birds, fish, flowers, and more. When there\u2019s fire in the heavens every moment is a magic moment.
\nYou\u2019ll score if you just stay in the game and keep rolling the dice. The more you roll the dice the more likely it is that you\u2019ll score. The longer you stay in the game, the more you get to try your luck. You\u2019re lucky to be playing, and who knows you might just get luckier. Sometimes, all you have to do is be at the right place at the right time. Sometimes, it\u2019s that simple.
