Find that perfect spot
in your bed,
the one where
you feel the coziest
and most comfortable.
LONG PAUSE
Then breathe,
just take in
slow, deliberate
deep breathes
that cleanse you.
LONG PAUSE
And with each cleansing breath,
allow the air to
spread through your body,
relaxing and
focusing your attention
on you.
LONG PAUSE
While continuing to relax,
give yourself permission
to let beautiful, magical dreams
come to you.
LONG PAUSE
Now, imagine your room
with the blinds or drapes closed,
and with a little pinpoint of light
peeking through.
PAUSE
The light fascinates you,
so you go to the window
to explore it.
PAUSE
As you open the blinds,
imagine being gently swept
into a dream
where you stand above
a mountain landscape.
PAUSE
The mountain is laced
with emerald green terraces,
cut into the mountainside.
They look like wide, green steps
in a staircase.
PAUSE
Gently, you descend on
one of the terraces
and realize you’ve landed
in a rice paddy
at harvest time.
PAUSE
Rice grows on each terrace,
and men and women
with bronze skin,
wide-brimmed straw hats
and focused expressions
harvest the rice.
PAUSE
The men and women speak
In a language like music
that you just naturally understand.
PAUSE
As you draw closer,
a woman looks up at you
and bids you to come watch her
as she works.
PAUSE
You comfortably bend over
and observe how she
harvests the rice with intention.
Her curved knife smoothly
glides through the plant
as it separates
the golden grains from the main stalk.
PAUSE
You run your fingers
over the stalks
and are surprised
by the coarseness
of the grain.
PAUSE
The woman then takes you
to large flat rock
with tubes of bamboo
fastened on top;
she hands you some
stalks of rice.
PAUSE
Together, you thresh the
rice stalks against the bamboo
and watch as the rice grains separate
and sprinkle
like a shower of golden rain.
PAUSE
The woman gathers up the grains
in a basket,
and turns to look at you.
The soft expression
and hint of sadness in her eyes
tell you it’s time for you to go.
PAUSE
You fold your hands,
bow and thank the woman
before being magically transported
back to your room.
PAUSE
You pause and take a breath,
making way for the next dream.
PAUSE
Again, a tiny light
creeps through the blinds,
calling you to come see
the wonders behind it.
PAUSE
As you’re pulled into the dream,
you find yourself in a
lush, tropical world
with a majestic volcano
in the distance.
PAUSE
You marvel at the volcano
as it spews
a small amount of steam
like a locomotive
coming to a stop.
PAUSE
Then, a river of lava
courses down the
side of the mountain
with mesmerizing hues
of orange, red and yellow
dancing as they descend.
PAUSE
The air hangs heavy with
the smell of sulfur and salt
while molten lava
shimmers and glows,
blazing a trail of change
down the mountain.
PAUSE
While watching the distant volcano,
nearby, you notice a man
with wireframe glasses
kneeling down and
grasping a handful of
black, moist dirt.
PAUSE
He lifts his glasses
and inspects the dirt carefully,
and as he does,
a wave of understanding
washes over you.
PAUSE
The volcano is Mother Nature’s
tool for renewal,
tearing down the old landscape
and then rebuilding it
with rich and fertile ground
for more flowers, trees, plants
and beauty.
PAUSE
