Gently silence your mind,

and focus on the peaceful quiet

blanketing you and your world.

LONG PAUSE

Stay in the present.

The calm.

The quiet of the night.

Allow yourself to relax

into it.

LONG PAUSE

Now, breathe,

And let your mind 

Drift along,

with thoughts

moving through

like rolling waves.

PAUSE

Now, imagine if you can,

standing in a lighthouse,

with a world of velvety black

all around the lighthouse.

PAUSE

It’s nighttime.

and so quiet,

that the night hums,

and the murmur

of the waves

echoes through the tower.

They are the only sounds,

and they bring peace to you.

PAUSE

Standing at the top of the lighthouse,

you gaze out into the sea,

a sea dark and mysterious,

like black obsidian.

PAUSE

But through the darkness,

a soft beam of light,

crosses the water

in a circular motion,

exposing the secret majesty

of the sea.

PAUSE

Now, imagine, if you can,

watching the light,

as it sets small sections of water aglow.

Just for a few seconds,

before it moves on.

PAUSE

You count the seconds

between the dark and light,

hypnotized by its beauty.

You know 

that there is magic in both. 

power in both

magnificence in both.

Dark

and 

Light.

PAUSE

Imagine now,

Listening to sea,

As its waves

Flow up and down.

Up and down.

Up and down.

PAUSE

Then the sea whispers to you,

In between each roll of her waves. 

What does she say?

PAUSE

After a moment,

you hear the sea singing,

ever so quietly.

It’s like a

lullaby

softly rolls in you.

PAUSE

You gaze out into 

The watery blackness again.

This time, though, 

You feel gratitude with your peace.

Gratitude because your lighthouse shines

to help others.

PAUSE

After a while,

your light is not the only light

that illuminates the water of midnight.

Now, a luminous full moon

bursts forth from the clouds

that had tried to cover it.

PAUSE

As the lighthouse beam

cuts across the water,

it meets with the silvery glow

of the moon,

and for a moment,

the sea illuminates like tinsel.

PAUSE

For hours, you gaze

at this symphony of light–

this dance of moon and

lighthouse energy

pirouetting across the water.

It’s relaxing.

Mesmerizing.

Inspiring.

PAUSE

But then, the light from the moon dims,

and the beam of the lighthouse fades.

Across the sky,

the first ray of the sunlight

pierces night’s veil.

PAUSE

And, as the sun rises,

bringing life to the water,

and creatures in and around the water, 

a new calm befalls the sea,

one of brilliant beauty and color. 

One of life

and peace

and joy.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
