Welcome, Helicopter! Excerpt:
Harmony thought back about the trip to her new home yesterday. On her way to this new hangar on Ahway Island, she had flown over the sparkling blue waters surrounding the island. As she had approached the island, she had seen a beautiful sandy beach. Seagulls, flying a little lower than her, had waved to her to say ‘hi.’ And just before she landed on the airstrip, the sheep in the green fields surrounding the airport greeted her as she descended to the ground. It seemed like Ahway Island was a friendly place.
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.
