Get comfy in your bed
or chair
and breathe in a
deep, cleansing breath.

LONG PAUSE

Take a moment
and center yourself,
letting all the cares of the day
just slip away.

LONG PAUSE

It starts with a single stroke,
a simple line across the canvas
marking the beginning
of a an idea,
a creation.

PAUSE

And the line may slender,
like a hair,
or thicker 
like a ruler,
or thicker still,
like a plank of lumber.

PAUSE

See if you can imagine,
the line taking a shape,
a shape all its own.
a shape that sets the tone
for what is to come.

PAUSE

The line may be straight like 
an arrow,
or bent slightly
like the warrior’s bow,
or deeply curved 
like rainbow
arching across the sky.

PAUSE

The line may wiggle
like an earthworm
or jut out like a 
pier on a lake
or softly wave
like the ocean.

PAUSE

And imagine now that
the line takes a color.
It may be black 
like the mysterious night,
or yellow like corn in mid summer,
or purple like a garden violet.

PAUSE

The line stands strong
in its space, in its shape,
knowing what it is,
and wondering
if there’s more.

PAUSE

Then imagine if you can
another line appearing
and for a moment,
the first line pauses,
questioning the second line.

PAUSE 

Then the second line
takes shape,
pirouetting across 
the canvas 
with a personality
all its own.

PAUSE

And the first line
sees the second
and realizes that
it, too, can pirouette.

PAUSE

So, together,
the lines twirl in and out
and around all the corners
of the canvas.

PAUSE

And imagine for a moment,
that a black circle joins the lines,
stationing itself 
in the core of the canvas.

PAUSE

And the circle stands alone.
There are no lines
inside it,
just outside it.

PAUSE

And the circle 
wonders why it's different,
why it stands alone
and away from the lines.

PAUSE

Then a new line appears,
a line that pierces the circle,
cutting across it 
with a splash of sunset orange.

PAUSE

And then the two original lines
join the new line,
pirouetting around the circle
and darting in and out 
of its center with color.

PAUSE

Now imagine a triangle of green
joins the canvas,
with three lines 
all connected.

PAUSE

And the triangle looks around
wondering where
all the other lines are,
wondering if it’s meant
to be alone.

PAUSE

The other lines pause
for a moment,
then swerve toward the triangle 
outlining its shape.

PAUSE

The other lines 
add bright colors
to the green triangle,
yellow, purple, orange
and black.

PAUSE

Then the other lines
dance around triangle,
creating a vibration
of colorful shadows
supporting it.
 

PAUSE

Now imagine, if you can,
A blue square
balancing on 
one corner
lands on the canvas.

PAUSE

And the square
wants to move
just like all
the lines on the canvas.

PAUSE

So, the lines
band together
and begin 
jutting out from each
corner of the square
Into the center of the canvas.

PAUSE

And with each line
extending beyond the corner
the square feels 
like it’s moving, 
rapidly through space.

PAUSE

And the lines
bounce off of each other
and jump on top of 
each other
like tumblers
in the circus.

PAUSE

Now, imagine if you can,
this circus of colors and lines
slowing down,
stepping back for just a moment.

PAUSE

And as they take a step away 
from their playground,
they see something amazing,
a magnificent piece of artwork
that began as a single, black line.

PAUSE

The lines and colors look around
to find the single, black line to thank it
for starting the beautiful 
work of art that they
all contributed to.

PAUSE
