The Island of Peace Meditation

You are alone on a deserted island that has been filled with overgrown fruit 
and bare essentials.  The water is so clear you can use it as an honest mirror 
of truth.  Over in the distance you spot a lovely hammock that has been hung
between two sturdy cypress trees. You decide to walk over and give it a try.(b)
Its soft material hugs you and before you know it, you are fast asleep in that
lovely makeshift hammock. The sound of the ocean rocks your ears in tranquil 
motion to and fro. (b)
Passing clouds glide over your head without making a sound.  They are watching
you breathe as they go by. Breathe from your diaphragm, your chest, your throat, 
Breathe in and out.
You smile cuz you are in a place of inner contentment.   A little green turtle trundles
 along moving side by side close in , circling your little soft hammock.
She is heading for the ocean for some seaweed, jellies or tunicates.  The little rosy 
seashells are sitting at the edge.  They call you over for a barefoot walk. You smile 
as you rise and go to the edge of the water wetting your feet and holding spaced 
with the dolphins and the fish (b)
You are going to live here for a little while. Long enough to receive your fitful rest 
You are going to stay her for a little while, cuz  you know it is the best place to be(b)

The End.
