When it rains forever...

... but you must create sunlight, like tossing things into a bubbling pot, as outside it drizzles or pours ... tossing in things like "sunshine" and "fairy dust" and "pumpkin pie spice" and "yellow flowers" and "warm fluffy happy-ending movies", and stir it well, then let it simmer a bit, until it's just a nice warm glow... and then just dip your hands into it, and lift out a glowing handful, and form it into a fluffy round shape, and hang it near the ceiling, where it will shine with a brilliant inward glow, and radiate a warm, cozy, sun-like light, yielding a very gentle, ear-soothing music which warms and illuminates the heart ...
