  The long time behavior of velocity-magnetic field alignment is numerically
investigated in the framework of MHD shell model. In the stationary forced
case, the correlation parameter C displays a nontrivial behavior with long
periods of high variability which alternates with periods of almost constant C.
The temporal statistics of correlation is shown to be non Poissonian, and the
pdf of constant sign periods displays clear power law tails. The possible
relevance of the model for geomagnetic dynamo problem is discussed.
