Snuggle up 

in your bed,

wrapping yourself

comfortably in your covers.

LONG PAUSE

Let your neck muscles melt

into your pillow,

While the rest of you

Sinks deeply and comfortably

into the folds of your bed

LONG PAUSE

As you melt into your bed,

feel yourself become

one with the bed,

completely relaxed.

LONG PAUSE

Now, see if you can imagine

a solo raindrop,

iridescent in the sunlight,

descending to the ground.

PAUSE

The raindrop pauses briefly,

bubbling up like a crystal dome,

before magically moving–

rolling through the grass.

PAUSE

And as the raindrop rolls,

It seems to be

looking for something,

something that is missing.

PAUSE

Now see if you can imagine

connecting with the raindrop 

as it stops at a golf course

and asks the short, stiff grass,

“Are you my tribe?”

PAUSE

The bright green blades of grass,

stand firm in the soil

and prepare to

whisper their truth.

You and the raindrop listen.

PAUSE

“No, we are not your tribe,

but early in the morning,

we wake and find you 

nourishing us,

and shining with us

in the light of the sun.

PAUSE

Now, picture if you can, 

the little raindrop smiling

and thanking the golf grass

for sharing,

and the golf grass 

wishing the raindrop 

luck on its journey.

PAUSE

Now, take a minute and breathe in,

and see if you can imagine

the little raindrop and you

rolling before a giant redwood tree.

PAUSE

As the raindrop approaches

the majestic redwood,

tall and powerful,

it calls out, “Are you my tribe?”

PAUSE

And the redwood bends,

ever so slightly 

to see you and the tiny raindrop

and shakes its leaves “no.”

PAUSE

Then the redwood speaks

in a voice that 

rumbles through the air.

“From time-to-time, though,

you come to me with many friends

and bathe my roots and leaves,

so, thank you.”

PAUSE

You and the little raindrop smile 

and thank the redwood

for sharing.

And the redwood

wishes you both 

luck on your journey.

PAUSE

So, imagine if you can,

that you and the little raindrop

keep rolling

until you come across a turtle.

PAUSE

You both approach 

the turtle,

with its greenish-brown shell

and bits of algae on barnacles 

sticking on the back.

PAUSE

You and the raindrop wait until

the turtle slooowly turns and faces you

and then you and the raindrop ask,

“Are you my tribe?

PAUSE

The turtle pulls its head

back in the shell

and pauses for 

many minutes

before shaking its head “no”.

PAUSE

You and the raindrop are about to leave

when the turtle

calls out.

“You are my life force and

allow me to eat and travel the world.

I will take you to your tribe.”

PAUSE

Joy fills you and the little raindrop

and you shimmy back and forth 

with excitement,

before jumping on

the turtle’s back.

PAUSE

On the turtle’s back, 

you and the little raindrop

lumber through the grass,

passing mushrooms and ants and flowers

until you came to the ocean.

PAUSE

“Are we here?” asks the little raindrop.

The turtle bobs his head “yes”

and lets you and the little raindrop 

slide off his back 

before he walks into the ocean.

PAUSE

You and the little raindrop stand together

watching as the waves

splash onto the sand

and then roll back into the ocean.

PAUSE

“Are you my tribe?” asks the raindrop.

Then, a single wave 

rises above you both,

magically pausing in the air.

“Yes, sisters, we are.”

PAUSE

You and the little raindrop 

study the wave

and began to roll

closer to her.

PAUSE

The wave appears again,

and you and the little raindrop thank her.

“We’ve traveled a long time 

to find our tribe.”

PAUSE
