Had a rough day? Things didn't go so well, not the way you'd hoped? Here's a thought. Make your way to your favorite leaf, the one floating without a care in space, like a puffy cloud in a bright blue sky. Let your body settle into your most comfortable repose. The world you left is far below. No need to do anything with your hands, nope don't need your feet right now either. Just tuck them all away. This is chill time. Let the sun warm you and the light breeze tickle your skin. The people on the boardwalk can simply pass by without ever noticing as you contemplate the tasty fly you had for lunch or the possibility that tomorrow you might hang out on a rose hip.
