THESE ARE NOT AURORAS: Montana is a good place to see auroras, so on Feb 17th when Jane Horton of Helena MT saw towering lights in the night sky, she naturally wondered. “Are these auroras?” Not exactly:
By the Divine Order of Time we’re called to follow in the footsteps of the Savior. It’s been estimated that Jesus and the disciples covered a distance of 2500 miles over the course of his mission on Earth. (Source: Quora, Pastor, Mark Brown)
Mary and Joseph traveled between 70 and 90 miles to Bethlehem, depending on the route. This is a long way for anyone, let alone a woman nine months pregnant. Some say she would have walked rather than ridden a donkey, as is often depicted. Either way, it would have been an intensely wearying trip! (Source: CatholicCompany.com)
The 40 Days of Lent is a journey of sorrows. It’s easy to focus on our own suffering and our fears of tomorrow. When we bear the suffering for a Divine Cause, the Offering will be more than enough.

A MEETING IN THE TWILIGHT SKY: Last night, the whisker-thin crescent Moon had a rare close encounter with Mercury. Dr. Gilbert Plumer photographed the conjunction from Rockledge, Florida:
The Offering of highest value is Time. By our nature we focus on the “object of our affection”. The object of our affection can be seen clearly in the measure of our thoughts. Tracking our thoughts is a process of metacognition. Logarithms are a compilation of data that reflects what’s on our mind in order of relevance and personal priorities.
When we make God the Highest Object of our Affection, Love will be multiplied to abundance. 2 is the symbol of the Choice we make, After we receive the Light. Human discernment is based on duality. We consider one way or another.
Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

THE SUNSPOT REPORT FROM MARS: Almost every day, NASA’s Perseverance rover on Mars looks up the sun. It’s a great way to check the air for dust. Today’s image caught something more–a large sunspot:
Matthew 20:36-40 KJV – The Greatest Commandment
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Matthew 6:22–23 (NIV)
“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light.”
Eyes were created to take in the Light. Our eyes hold the Power to express our feelings and emotions. Our eyes are opened by the Light of the Sunrise. Eyes are a primary focus. When we lose sight, our other senses expand to serve the purpose as a sense of “spatial consciousness.” The Eye of the whale is what engages us with the “humanity” of a living creation far beyond the realm of human’s everyday experience.
The “evil eye” refers to the “dead eyes” of a zombie that only sees the source of their next meal. The eyes convey the Truth of our authenticity. We can see Love through the eyes.
The Apostles were drawn to follow the Compassionate Love that shone from the eyes of Jesus. Written in the Seed, our Heart’s Desire is the Light of Love shining from the eyes that wholly see us as we are. Words can’t express what is experienced when we’re Seen Through the Eyes of Love. That’s the Love we’ll climb a mountain to know.
February 18, 2026 is Ash Wednesday. The Season of Lent begins with the ashes of our sins that the Fire burned away. We stepped through a Ring of Fire to take up our Staff and Follow. God ordered the Time for us to See Clearly. Deer/MANIK begins a journey to See through the “Eyes of our Heart”.

THE SOLAR ECLIPSE THAT ALMOST NO ONE SAW: A rare solar eclipse occured in Antarctica today when the New Moon blocked the summer sun over the frozen continent. So far we have received no photos of that remote event. However, here’s how it looked 4,000 miles away in Paarl, South Africa:
John 14:18-26 KJV
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
CIMI is the shares Peace Beyond Understanding by the Power of the Holy Spirit that dwells within. CIMI is the promise of a Hand to Hold and a Comforter who will never leave our side. We’re changed when we let go of the world to follow the Light.
John 12:24-25 KJV
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

SOMETHING FLARE-Y THIS WAY COMES: A sunspot located behind the sun’s southeastern limb erupted on Feb. 16th (0435 UTC), producing an M2.5-class solar flare. Almost certainly, the flare was stronger than its nominal classification because it was partially eclipsed by the edge of the sun. This beautiful blast may herald the appearance of a new geoeffective active region later this week.
