Take a deep breath, and let any tension in your body fall away. LONG PAUSE Breathe some more, And allow the stillness of the night To calm you. To relax you. LONG PAUSE Breathe again. Allow your body to let go, to just melt into the bed. LONG PAUSE Now, imagine if you can, a great horned owl, perched majestically  on a tree branch outside your window. PAUSE As you look at the creature, You see the seriousness in his rich black eyes, and also the calmness. PAUSE As you gaze at him, a feeling of protection unfolds around you. you feel safe with the guardian of the night standing sentry near your room. PAUSE After a moment,  a full moon  peers out from behind a sea of clouds. The owl, his tree, and the entire world are bathed in silver light. PAUSE As you watch from the window, The owl spreads his wings, hoots, and comes to the window sill. In a moment, the great owl’s wings wrap gently around you, until you’re hoisted onto its back. Together, you both take to the sky. PAUSE Secured safely in the feathers of the owl,  you soar toward the moon, toward the millions of stars dancing in the night. PAUSE You can see the moon reflecting in the owl’s eyes, as you skim the tops of tall pines in a forest. Tonight, you are both guardians of the night, children of moonlight. PAUSE Then the sea whispers to you, In between each roll of her waves.  What does she say? PAUSE After a while, the owl sinks into the trees, and lands on a large limb, overlooking a lake. PAUSE The lake shimmers with the moonlight skipping upon it, and a few fish bobbing up and down. At first, you think the owl will swoop down and scoop up a fish, but the guardian stays still. And waits. PAUSE Many moments pass, But then you hear it. Another hoot in the distance. Another great horned owl approaches. PAUSE Moments later, the second owl lands on the branch, and a chorus of hoots ensues. PAUSE At first, the music of the owls is a language not known. Then magically, their hoots transform Into words, and you become privy to their conversation. PAUSE The two protectorates of the night talk back and forth about their duties, and how to keep the forest safe. Then, just as quickly as it began, the conversation ends, and the second owl takes to the sky. PAUSE Many moments pass, and then the great horned owl hoots again. only this time, you understand. you are on your way home, back to the comfort of your bed. PAUSE The bird lifts its wings, and together you fly in the moonlight, steadily gliding into the night’s thin air. Landing on your window sill,  the owl bends over  as you gently slide off its back. As you walk to your bed, you give a turn and one more look. There, perched in the tree, is your guardian of the night ready to watch over you, and keep you safe, as you dream.
