The Path
A walking meditation through a serene retreat.
The sun is sending warmth and light down onto the walkway before you. Several trees form a canopy over your head. You begin to walk toward the brighter light.
The crushed oyster shells of the path make a delicate crunching sound under each step. The slight give in the path cushions your walk, inviting the next step. You continue to move out of the shaded area into the brighter light.
A gentle breeze blows across the way. The slight perspiration that you feel from the hot sun is dried, cooling you down just enough to continue enjoying the walk.
You come upon a small lavender bush. The succulent smell surrounds you and calms your senses. The stems sway softly back and forth.
A single monarch butterfly enters the area, gliding peacefully. The vibrant orange of its wings contrast beautifully to the purple flowers as it lands to enjoy the sweet nectar within.
You stop to take the moment in. How do you feel?
