Every morning, this happens. It lasts for about 30 minutes as we rotate during the day (I mean “we” as in “those of us who exist on the planet Earth”).

I have told her repeatedly that this is a gift that I did not know I needed until after I got it, and now I cannot imagine life without it.

This is a light garden.

There aren’t any pictures or video that would do this justice. Go get some crystals and hang them in your windows…unless you have cats.
