Strawberry Moon Excerpt:
His parents exchanged a look. His dad came to sit next to him. “Owen…I know you think it will be boring. It’s okay to feel that way. But sometimes, when we try something new, we find it’s more fun than we expected.” Owen’s dad spoke calmly and gave him a smile. “Plus, your mom’s made some special moon-shaped sandwiches. Would you be willing to give it a try?”
Owen sighed. “Fine,” he muttered. But he didn’t feel fine. He felt sulky, a little nervous about the dark, and mostly certain he would not have fun.
Today’s Meditation: Imagine you are a twinkling star, receiving and sending energy through the universe in today's meditation.
