Narrator: Female
Story Begins: 4:23
That’s My Meadow! Excerpt:
As Halle glided along, she passed by houses with flower beds of tulips and daisies out front. She went right by the park with its community garden where neighbors grew sunflowers and marigolds. Halle had visited those flowers before, and today she was hoping to find something new and special. She wanted to see what else the morning might bring.
Soon, the breeze guided Halle toward the forest. She followed it happily, weaving up and down and side to side between the trunks of the tall trees. After a little while, the trees around her began to spread apart. More sunshine slipped through the branches. She saw splashes of red, purple, and yellow ahead. As Halle flew closer, she realized that right in front of her was a beautiful meadow full of colorful flowers!
Today’s Meditation: Love flows through you in this meditation as you imagine a baby fawn and mama deer.
