As we walk through the world today, the tensions rising high and fear seem to be pervasive, we may feel the need to find a comfortable, safe space and take a little journey. We are invited to visit a field where we can relax and contemplate the journey of a flower in the midday sun. It has taken a while for this plant to emerge, and some of that growth hasn't been easy, but it comes to a day when all this effort brings forth the full beauty of this flower. Come with us and shine on...

64 created these as plutonium b Sometimes in this troubled,

Confusing world,

We need to take a break and just go to a place where we can relax,

Find that space and find yourself a seat where you can lie down.

As you get yourself comfortable feeling,

Feeling your chair,

Lying down,

Feeling the earth underneath you,

Your places of contact with your body.

Breathe in,

Let your breath go out.

Breathing in at your own pace,

Breathing out,

Breathing in the beautiful oxygen while you breathe out carbon dioxide which feeds the plants and the trees.

As you go a little deeper,

Find yourself a little more relaxed with each breath able to let go.

Breathing in,

You open yourself to a beautiful space,

A field in front of you.

A field that is still luminescent with the dew drops of a last rain.

As you walk through this field,

Tall grass with the earth beneath your feet,

You look around and see a flower,

A flower just standing there in the sun with itself open to the rays of the sun and you go over to it.

Maybe it was the color that attracted you.

Taking a closer look,

You see its petals in perfect symmetry,

Perfect flower.

As you feel the petal,

It feels soft to your fingers and you inhale its scent and it comes in your body relaxing you.

Looking at the flower,

You see how it's a perfect landing pad for a butterfly coming through a bee.

Taking its beauty in you,

Breathing this essence into your body,

Into your spirit,

Into your veins,

Into your heart.

Seeing this beauty,

This peace within you,

That this flower radiates in the sun.

You realize it came from a seed,

Its roots have grown out of a seed and it was its first day where it opened in the cold,

Dark earth and started to crack through the shell and started to come up while it started to grow little roots.

It wasn't easy going through the earth,

Roots going down and the plants going up,

Searching for the sun.

Feeling the warmth going towards the warmth and finally breaking through to the soil into the light of the day,

Pushing on,

Going through the tall grasses trying to reach the sun.

Its buds still unopened as it pushed forward.

At its own pace,

Sometimes it would grow more quickly than other times.

When the sun came out,

It would push further,

Its leaves getting greener and longer and its bud coming up over the grasses.

Finally today,

It's unfolding in front of you in the sun,

Perfect symmetry,

Just because that's what it does.

As you breathe in the beauty of this perfect flower on this day,

Being grateful to observe it at this moment,

You realize you can take that sun,

That beauty of the flower into you and relax and go deeper and become that perfect peace.

Breathing in,

Feeling this peace.

And seeing the image of the flower and all its essence within your being.

Come back and tuck that essence into a little part of your heart.

Breathing in,

Feeling the air on your skin,

Feeling your fingertips and how good it is to be able to just move them and touch.

Wiggle your toes.

How good it is.

Have your toes.

Feeling that joy arise within you.

Know you can be that flower,

That perfect shining moment in the sun.

Maybe you're still struggling through to get there,

But maybe today is the day.

To shine.

Maybe the day.

Today will unfold like that beautiful flower.

Just radiating shine for no reason other than it's there.

So take that with you as you come back and move your body.

And if you need a couple more minutes,

That's okay.

But remember you can come back here anytime you want.

Just be the shine.

Be well.

Be safe.

Shine on.

Namaste.
