Sea Lion Swim Excerpt:
On a bright, sunny morning on the Ahway Island beach, Salvador Sea Lion stretched lazily on the sand, letting out a soft yawn. Nearby, his friend Serena lay curled up, resting after their fun swim the day before. Salvador smiled as he thought about all the games they had played in the water, darting through the waves and chasing each other under the sun. But today, they had a new plan. Serena had asked Salvador to show her the way to the big rocks where the older sea lions liked to lounge and play. It was a warm, sunny spot by the shore where they could swim, nap, and enjoy the gentle sea breeze.
Salvador had been to the big rocks many times before with his older siblings. But he had never gone on his own. “Still, how hard could it be?” Salvador thought to himself. He had followed the path so many times. Salvador was sure he could get them there.
Today’s Meditation: Enjoy the feeling of your body relaxing into the warm sand on a sunny beach.
