But, no.  Spatter it did, and so, there it sat, stagnating in the corner of my office, until this morning, when my husband wandered in and casually inquired. &#8220;Why isn&#8217;t your fountain plugged in?&#8221;<br \/>\nHe then lifted the top, took the tiny engine in his hand and simply moved the setting from high to low.  Fixed!  A miracle!  Water flowing, soothing sounds, happy and energized chi filled the room.<br \/>\nAnd now I wonder.  How many other &#8216;things&#8217; in my life could be adjusted by simply moving a switch from high to low, or low to high, or on or off.
