Dirt Mountain Excerpt:
Drevan the dump truck awoke to the gentle hum of the garage door opening. He stretched his tires and smiled, wondering what the crew would do today. The little dump truck anticipated another day of exciting construction projects. The crew had finished their last project, so he guessed that today would bring something new. Drevan couldn’t wait to find out what it was!
With a slight rattle, the garage door rolled up, section by section, and Drevan’s driver made her way inside. Drevan peered out into the construction yard. It was peaceful and quiet. No one was there yet. The little dump truck grinned; he loved being the first one out. The driver turned the key, and Drevan’s engine rumbled to life. Drevan happily rolled out of the garage and patiently waited to see if any other vehicles would be joining him today.
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.
