Eel Encounter Excerpt:

It was a bright sunny afternoon on Ahway Island. A few fluffy, white clouds dotted the brilliant blue sky. Below, the waters of Ahway Island Bay sparkled in the sunshine.

 

The seagulls of Ahway Island loved flying above the coral reef just outside Ahway Island Bay. In particular, Sandy Seagull loved landing gently in the shallow water around the reef, where she could lightly float to wherever the waves wanted to take her. If by chance the waves took Sandy too far, she would use her orange, webbed feet and swim back to the coral reef.

Today’s Meditation: Enjoy the feeling of your body relaxing into the warm sand on a sunny beach.
