Find that perfect spot

in your bed,

the one where

you feel the coziest 

and most comfortable. 

LONG PAUSE

Then breathe,

just take in 

slow, deliberate

deep breathes

that cleanse you.

LONG PAUSE

And with each cleansing breath,

allow the air to 

spread through your body,

relaxing and 

focusing your attention

on you.

LONG PAUSE

While continuing to relax,

give yourself permission

to let beautiful, magical dreams

come to you.

LONG PAUSE

Now, imagine your room

with the blinds or drapes closed,

and with a little pinpoint of light

peeking through.

PAUSE

The light fascinates you,

so you go to the window 

to explore it.

PAUSE

As you open the blinds,

imagine being gently swept

into a dream

where you stand above

a mountain landscape.

PAUSE

The mountain is laced 

with emerald green terraces,

cut into the mountainside.

They look like wide, green steps

in a staircase.

PAUSE

Gently, you descend on 

one of the terraces

and realize you’ve landed

in a rice paddy 

at harvest time.

PAUSE

Rice grows on each terrace,

and men and women

with bronze skin,

wide-brimmed straw hats

and focused expressions

harvest the rice.

PAUSE

The men and women speak

In a language like music

that you just naturally understand. 

PAUSE

As you draw closer,

a woman looks up at you

and bids you to come watch her

as she works.

PAUSE

You comfortably bend over 

and observe how she 

harvests the rice with intention.

Her curved knife smoothly

glides through the plant

as it separates

the golden grains from the main stalk.

PAUSE

You run your fingers

over the stalks

and are surprised 

by the coarseness

of the grain.

PAUSE

The woman then takes you

to large flat rock 

with tubes of bamboo

fastened on top; 

she hands you some 

stalks of rice.

PAUSE

Together, you thresh the 

rice stalks against the bamboo

and watch as the rice grains separate

and sprinkle 

like a shower of golden rain.

PAUSE

The woman gathers up the grains

in a basket,

and turns to look at you.

The soft expression

and hint of sadness in her eyes

tell you it’s time for you to go.

PAUSE

You fold your hands,

bow and thank the woman

before being magically transported 

back to your room.

PAUSE

You pause and take a breath,

making way for the next dream.

PAUSE 

Again, a tiny light

creeps through the blinds,

calling you to come see

the wonders behind it.

PAUSE

As you’re pulled into the dream,

you find yourself in a 

lush, tropical world 

with a majestic volcano

in the distance.

PAUSE

You marvel at the volcano 

as it spews 

a small amount of steam

like a locomotive

coming to a stop.  

PAUSE

Then, a river of lava 

courses down the 

side of the mountain

with mesmerizing hues

of orange, red and yellow

dancing as they descend.

PAUSE

The air hangs heavy with 

the smell of sulfur and salt

while molten lava 

shimmers and glows,

blazing a trail of change

down the mountain.

PAUSE

While watching the distant volcano,

nearby, you notice a man 

with wireframe glasses

kneeling down and 

grasping a handful of 

black, moist dirt.

PAUSE

He lifts his glasses 

and inspects the dirt carefully, 

and as he does,

a wave of understanding

washes over you.

PAUSE

The volcano is Mother Nature’s

tool for renewal,

tearing down the old landscape

and then rebuilding it

with rich and fertile ground

for more flowers, trees, plants

and beauty.

PAUSE
