I’ve had crystals around me for years, I always write with a big chunk of quartz by the computer, I’ve always felt something from crystals, although I am never sure exactly what. But I am enchanted by our wanderings around Crystal Hill, I love to take photos there, Maria kneels down on the ground and seems to feel where some of the crystals are. There was something mystical about this place and Maria came back with a pouch of treasures, one of which she is making into a necklace for me.

When I look at the ground, I see light and leaves, Maria sees other things, and it is a beautiful thing to see. My wife is a Pagan, a good witch, connected to the earth in a visceral way.
