(Inhale deeply. Hold. Slowly release.)
Look at all this freshly mowed green grass.
(Again. Inhale. Hold. Release.)
These geraniums are the prettiest color of red? pink? coral? I can't quite place it.
(Close your eyes. Focus on the quiet here.)
A perfect chair placed for the perfect view out of the second story window.
(Feel your pulse start to slow.)
Windows frame Nature throughout the entire house, including the shower.
(Pause, eyes still closed. Listen to the birds, the water cascading from the back of the still pond.)
This is what a place of Zen feels like.
(Open your eyes, drink in the hues of the all the flowers planted with thought and care around the perimeter of the yard. Go to the container under the stairs and pinch off a basil leaf. Bring it to your nose and enjoy the aroma.)
This is C's home. A place of peace. We are so lucky to call it home these two weeks in Alaska.
(Lay back in the deck chair. Close your eyes. Fall asleep.)
