Gather together 
all your thoughts,
and then wrap them 
into a cellophane ball.
LONG PAUSE
Then take your ball
and toss it high into the sky,
where a passing cloud
catches it,
and sails it away.
LONG PAUSE
Now, take a moment
to center yourself
and breathe.
And as you exhale deeply, entirely,
snuggle up in your bed
and get as comfortable as you can.
LONG PAUSE
It starts with the number one.
See if you can imagine it,
the number one,
rising from the shadows,
standing before you.
PAUSE
Your number one 
reaches up to the sky,
tall and powerful,
like the tree of life,
the ancient tree of wisdom.
PAUSE
And as you take a breath,
the one,
now an ancient tree,
grows before you.
Its branches stretch
and bend and swirl,
while its leaves gently unfurl.
PAUSE
The leaves,
like iridescent jewels,
glitter in the sun
and radiate the power 
of beginnings for you.
PAUSE
Now take a moment 
and notice the trunk 
of the tree.
It’s the color 
of acorns 
and owls 
and clay.
The colors of Mother Earth.
PAUSE
Now, take a minute and breathe in
and observe how the tree,
plants itself in the ground,
unrolling its unseen roots.
PAUSE
See if you can imagine 
seeing roots wind and wend,
tangle and untangle,
holding firm the tree
with the wisdom of the past
coiled within them.
PAUSE
Take a pause for just a moment,
and gaze at the tree,
letting its secret images 
unfold to you in the bark.
PAUSE
See if you can imagine
a silvery sword 
appearing in the bark,
sharp and powerful.
PAUSE
As your eyes follow the sword,
from handle to tip,
you feel its gifts being shared.
The sword shines 
with mental clarity for you.
PAUSE
Now, see if you can picture
the sword spinning,
transforming into a golden chalice,
that sparkles in the sunlight.
PAUSE
The chalice moves you,
filling your heart 
with feeling 
and inspiration
and opening your intuition.
PAUSE
And imagine now 
that the chalice shifts,
and transforms 
into a magic wand.
PAUSE
You reach out to 
touch the wand,
and its energy 
dissolves into you,
energy that opens you
to act.
PAUSE
And imagine, now, that
the wand trembles,
changing its shape 
into a golden coin.
PAUSE
Then, if you can, picture yourself
moving your hand
over the coin,
feeling its smoothness 
and taking in 
its grounding power.
PAUSE
Now see if you can open your heart
to accept these powerful gifts
and to hold them deep in your heart,
deep in your soul.
PAUSE
As you take in these gifts,
you step back from the tree 
to gaze in gratitude at all of it,
from its roots 
to the tips of its leaves.
PAUSE
There, before you, 
a tree both old and wise
and new and green.
Your tree, your number one,
blossoming with possibility.
PAUSE
Now, see if you can imagine
silver light covering the tree,
silver light like a mirror
that reflects your radiant image.
PAUSE
As you look at your reflection,
you see that you are all
that is in and around this tree.
This tree that grew
from the number one
is you.
PAUSE
Slowly, the tree fades,
and while it 
dissolves into the ether,
you feel its energies
and wisdom
grow in you.
You are the tree.
You are the One.
Namaste
