Beneficial Bugs Excerpt:
The three friends moved over to the grassy side of the park near the swing set. Brian expertly maneuvered Winfield through the grass, thankful for the off-road tires that let him explore places with uneven ground.
“Let’s look for bugs on this tree,” said Henry.
They looked up at a large tree that stood like a giant in the park. The green leaves were high up above them like a cozy green umbrella. The friends took turns examining the tree but they did not find any bugs.
Today’s Meditation: Enjoy the feeling of your body relaxing into the warm sand on a sunny beach.
