Sky Dragon Excerpt:
Dragon’s cave glowed with the soft light of the rising sun. As the sun’s rays grew stronger, Dragon’s eyes fluttered open. Hopping up, Dragon stretched and then gently laid the quilt across the mossy bed. A lovely melody drifted into the cave. Dragon looked towards the opening, squinting into the light. Carrie the Cardinal and Gerry Robin were perched on a branch just outside of Dragon’s home, singing their favorite good morning melody. Dragon smiled and walked out of the cave to join the friendly birds. Bright blue filled the morning sky behind the soft, fluffy clouds floating their way past. Carrie and Gerry chirped even more happily now that their friend was joining them. The two birds flew up into the sky and then turned back to circle Dragon. Dragon understood what the birds wanted. It was a good day for a flight. Dragon lifted off the ground gently to join the two birds, who flitted from tree top to tree top. Dragon, no longer worried about being spotted by the kids, flew up above the tree tops.
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating in a tranquil pool, safe and relaxed, as the water rocks you gently.
