The Blue Light

A short account of a special occurrence which took place in Denmark during the summer of 1999.

The Blue Light

One morning during the Summer of 1999 I was in Northern Denmark with a group of friends, most of them Danish.  I was sitting on a picnic bench with a man whose self-chosen name was Lys.  We were talking about something; probably philosophizing about how we experience life.  All of a sudden I saw a large ball of silver-blue light appear between us.  It’s appearance lasted for more than a second. Back then it was very common for me to see tiny silver-blue flashes of light, which lasted only for an instant.  When I was relaxed and my eyes were unfocused I would often see them suddenly appear.  But at this particular occurance, above the picnic bench, it wasn’t just a point.  It was huge; the biggest I’ve ever seen.  The size of a tennis ball, it shone with an unearthly silveriness, as if it was a star that had come to visit.  I tried to tell Lys about what I’d just seen.  But he himself hadn’t seen it.  I wished he had, because I really wanted to share my experience.  Instead, I was left with elation and questions:

What was the nature of this light? 

What was I actually seeing?

Your story, Paul, (nicely told, btw) is an occasion of "more than meets the eye" actually pops in to say hi !
Not just curiously, but out right enigmatic that such phenomena arises to be recieved and acknowledged.

Indeed. I was familiar with this happening in many small, momentary ways, since the age of around 22. But this was quite special.
Thanks for your review.
