Breathe in radiant peace

and complete relaxation

that fill you with

comfort and calm.

PAUSE

Keep inhaling and exhaling

deeply and fully

until your breathing

forms a cadence

of slow, deep breaths.

PAUSE

And, as you breathe,

continue to feel 

the energy of peace

moving through you.

LONG PAUSE

Now, imagine relaxing

in a pool with turquoise water

on a summer afternoon,

while slate-colored clouds

cluster above you.

PAUSE

The clouds billow 

and pile on top of each other

like popcorn popping.

Wisps of ale sunlight 

surrounds them

and the rest of the sky.

PAUSE

After a moment,

the air smells sweet with rain,

and a pea-sized raindrop touches your cheek,

followed by another,

and another.

PAUSE

You peek up at the sky 

and realize that clouds 

have gathered into one rain cloud,

and that it’s this one gray cloud

that now sheds tears.

PAUSE

Looking over the pool,

you notice that 

a handful of raindrops

are dropping in the pool. 

PAUSE

The raindrops are 

fat and heavy,

and each time 

one drops in the pool,

it bounces into a

tiny explosion

like a fountain 

surging with water.

PAUSE

Around the pool,

dozens of miniature fountains

explode with

the beauty and precision of a ballet.

PAUSE

Listening, you notice that 

each water droplet

sounds its own chorus

with a gentle “splat,”

when it meets the surface of the pool

PAUSE

Then, after a moment,

the water ballet

becomes more connected,

with groups of drops

descending into the pool together

in a symphony of pattering.

PAUSE

A breeze kicks up,

and like a magic carpet,

carries a

petite pink blossom

into the pool.

PAUSE

The blossom swirls and sashays

through the water. 

PAUSE

After a few moments,

the petals of the blossom separate

and float toward the corners of the pool

like delicate lotus flowers.

PAUSE

A stray leaf lands in the pool, 

bobbing up and down

before being picked up

and tossed around

by the breeze.

PAUSE

Leaning against the side of the pool,

you let the cool rain skip on your face

and listen as the breeze sings

in the trees.

PAUSE

After a few moments, 

the raindrops slow their dance,

and an arm of the sun

cuts through the gray cloud above.

PAUSE 

Soon, the sun reaches 

fully through the rain cloud

and sends it 

floating away in innocent pieces.

PAUSE

The breeze quiets,

and its song is replaced

by a pair of chirping cardinals.

PAUSE

The delicate blossoms 

have sunk to the bottom,

one of them next to 

a child’s forgotten mask.

PAUSE

The sweet smell of rain 

has dissolved from the air,

replaced with the weight

of humidity that clings to everything. 

PAUSE

And, as you gaze toward the sky,

the last raindrop pooling on your cheek

dries,

and you feel the warm kiss of the sun

as the rest of the day unfolds.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
