A Trip to the Pond Excerpt:
It was a calm morning on Ahway Island. The waters of a pond in the Ahway Island Park reflected the beautiful blue of the cloudless sky above. Grasses swayed gently in the morning breeze. The crisp morning air was filled with music as the local birds all sang their favorite melodies, singing from their houses in the trees above the pond.

Then, all of a sudden, there was a “quack” and then another “quack.” Soon a whole chorus of “quacks” filled the air. It was Mabel and Magnus Duck with their family! They were getting ready to lead their ducklings over to the pond for a morning swim.
Today’s Meditation: Picture floating in the safe and comforting waters of a tranquil pool.
