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
