Reading Stars of the Milky Way and Scrutinizing Gems are Always an Exponent’s Domain

 

I was unaware that the island of Sri Lanka had been blessed with endless streams of precious gems. Today, whenever I hold a gem between my fingers, I envision the beauty of the island and its rich soil. I enjoy the purest physical pleasure from the energy I receive from these wonderful gifts of the creator. I feel complete and whole, as though the perfection of the gems is somehow transferred to me.
