PAUSE Keep inhaling and exhaling deeply and fully until your breathing forms a cadence of slow, deep breaths. PAUSE And, as you breathe, continue to feel  the energy of peace moving through you. LONG PAUSE Now, imagine relaxing in a pool with turquoise water on a summer afternoon, while slate-colored clouds cluster above you. PAUSE The clouds billow  and pile on top of each other like popcorn popping. Wisps of ale sunlight  surrounds them and the rest of the sky. PAUSE After a moment, the air smells sweet with rain, and a pea-sized raindrop touches your cheek, followed by another, and another. PAUSE You peek up at the sky  and realize that clouds  have gathered into one rain cloud, and that it’s this one gray cloud that now sheds tears.   PAUSE Looking over the pool, you notice that  a handful of raindrops are dropping in the pool.  PAUSE The raindrops are  fat and heavy, and each time  one drops in the pool, it bounces into a tiny explosion like a fountain  surging with water. PAUSE Around the pool, dozens of miniature fountains explode with the beauty and precision of a ballet. PAUSE Listening, you notice that  each water droplet sounds its own chorus with a gentle “splat,” when it meets the surface of the pool PAUSE Then, after a moment, the water ballet becomes more connected, with groups of drops descending into the pool together in a symphony of pattering. PAUSE A breeze kicks up, and like a magic carpet, carries a petite pink blossom into the pool. PAUSE The blossom swirls and sashays through the water.  PAUSE After a few moments, the petals of the blossom separate and float toward the corners of the pool like delicate lotus flowers.   PAUSE A stray leaf lands in the pool,  bobbing up and down before being picked up and tossed around by the breeze. PAUSE Leaning against the side of the pool, you let the cool rain skip on your face and listen as the breeze sings in the trees. PAUSE After a few moments,  the raindrops slow their dance, and an arm of the sun cuts through the gray cloud above. PAUSE  Soon, the sun reaches  fully through the rain cloud and sends it  floating away in innocent pieces. PAUSE The breeze quiets, and its song is replaced by a pair of chirping cardinals. PAUSE The delicate blossoms  have sunk to the bottom, one of them next to  a child’s forgotten mask. PAUSE The sweet smell of rain  has dissolved from the air, replaced with the weight of humidity that clings to everything.  PAUSE And, as you gaze toward the sky, the last raindrop pooling on your cheek dries, and you feel the warm kiss of the sun as the rest of the day unfolds.
