Every day this little guy appears on my wall for a couple hours. The first time I saw him, I was very confused because I have never seen anything shaped in this small circular way with a every color of the rainbow in it, besides maybe a jelly fish. After frantically searching for the source of this color, I realized that it was coming from the peephole in my apartment door. The light hits the peephole and is reflected through the prism that is the small circular glass window in the door, and the result is my little jelly friend. He left for the day, but he'll be back tomorrow.
I have to say, the fact that you give this sphere of light a name and a gender makes me wonder about how light can be perceived as a living, breathing thing that ebbs and flows in the world.

I cannot agree more :)
DeleteVery nice post and a great phenomenon to wait for each day :) I have a similar thing happen in my living room, as light comes through windows and hits a stack of CD's, that I never use, and creates a prism of light on the ceiling :)
