Dragon's Band Excerpt:
It was a glorious afternoon. The shadows of flowers danced along the edges of the clearing in the forest as the lilting breeze tickled their petals. Dragon waited eagerly in the clearing in the Ahway Island Forest. Soon Gerry robin flitted up and landed delicately on the forest floor next to Dragon.
“Hi, Dragon!” Gerry chirped cheerfully.
Dragon smiled at the little bird and waved.
“Today is the big day!” Gerry commented, fluffing her feathers out purposefully so that each feather settled neatly on her slight frame.
Today’s Meditation: Picture floating in the safe and comforting waters of a tranquil pool.
Creating the original bedtime stories and art for Be Calm on Ahway Island takes a lot of time and care.
