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.
