Market Day Excerpt:
The sun rose gently in the sky, bringing dawn to the rolling fields of the farm. A distant cock-a-doodle-doo woke Flick Farm Truck from her slumber. She smiled to herself as she remembered what day it was, feeling excited – today was market day!
The farmer was already getting everything prepared. He hummed a happy tune as he carefully placed crates and baskets of fresh fruits and vegetables into Flick’s truck bed. Flick watched with delight as the back of her truck filled with colorful produce. There were bright red beets, vibrant orange carrots, sunny yellow squash, deep green zucchini, and rich purple eggplants. Flick’s bed was a rainbow of color!
Today’s Meditation: Love flows through you in this meditation as you imagine a baby fawn and mama deer.
