Blue Ceilings

and rocks

By Harper Lewis Published 4 months ago • Updated 4 months ago • 1 min read

Fairy lights and glowing moons illuminate the room with a soft glow, sibilant light sliding across the ceiling in water patterns while blue sand drifts to the bottom of a suspended disc. Helichrysum and pomegranate fragrance the water, and smoke wafts toward the ceiling from a wand of incense. Rubies hum beside cool lapis with jasper everywhere. Amethysts and citrine linger near agates, obsidian and quartz stand sentinel, pillars rising above of it all. Sanctuary.

Intertextuality is my passion.
