A giant moonbeam reflector may shine away depression

[Sequoia]

In Arizona’s Sonoran Desert,15 miles west of Tucson, the depressed and ailing come to bathe in the gentle blue-white beam of Richard Chapin’s 50-foot-tall moonlight collector.

Chapin, the founder of a lucrative Arizona swap meet, has spent the past four years and $2 million of his personal fortune building the world’s first and only therapeutic moonbeam catcher, a 30-ton array of mirrors called the Interstellar Light Collector. Although he has no medical training, Chapin is convinced that his invention can help people conquer depression, arthritis and even some types of cancer.

Oh, I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow

And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land,
Oh if I ever lose my hands, Oh if.... I won't have to work no more.
And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colours all run dry,
Yes if I ever lose my eyes, Oh if.... I won't have to cry no more.

And if I ever lose my legs, I won't moan, and I won't beg,
Yes if I ever lose my legs, Oh if.... I won't have to walk no more.
And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south,
Yes if I ever lose my mouth, Oh if.... I won't have to talk...

Did it take long to find me? I asked the faithful light.
Did it take long to find me? And are you gonna stay the night?
