Helpful Dragon Excerpt:
It was morning on Ahway Island. Brilliant sparkles of sunlight erupted through the tree branches. Overhead, a cacophony of birds called to one another in a variety of tweets and chirps. A few days ago, thunderstorms had exploded overhead and drenched the land, but today everything was calm and peaceful.
Dragon lumbered down the path in the Ahway Island Forest, enjoying a lovely walk. Dragon especially enjoyed observing the world during forest walks. The azure-blue sky peeked through the tree canopy. A fresh breeze created a swishing sound as it rustled through the bushes and trees. Dragon paused in a pool of sunlight beaming through a bigger opening in the canopy. Turning head up and closing eyes, Dragon relaxed at the comforting feeling of sunlight on their face. They took a deep Dragon Breath, in and out. The air smelled fresh and clean as a crisp piney scent permeated with hints of wildflowers.
Today’s Meditation: Picture floating in the safe and comforting waters of a tranquil pool.
