Mystery Seed Excerpt:
It was an early morning on Ahway Island. The moon was just beginning to lower in the sky, and the very first hints of golden sunlight peeked through the trees. A soft glow filled the cave. The morning light gently wakened Dragon. With a stretch, Dragon hopped out of bed. Through the cave’s opening, Dragon saw the sun rising over the horizon and felt the calmness of the day.
Dragon stretched and glanced toward the forest path that led toward the Ahway Island park. It might be nice to visit the community garden today, Dragon thought. Everyone on Ahway Island was welcome to help tend the garden and share in what it grew. It was a happy place, full of beautiful flowers, vibrant vegetables, and wonderful memories. With a smile, Dragon began the walk to the garden.
Today’s Meditation: Relax as you imagine you are a baby penguin snuggled close to its papa.
