On the Wave of Light
Vibrations are all around us, in sound, in energy and in ourselves. And in light. On the Wave of Light began with a wish to make that idea tangible during an everyday walk.
As someone passes, the light responds and lingers briefly behind them. That softly glowing trace is a reminder of the light that stays with us, guiding and protecting us. We only need to pause long enough to notice it.
