Draw in a deep, long breath

and allow your eyes to close.

Breathe deeply again,

becoming aware of your surroundings,

aware of the present.

LONG PAUSE

Breathe in again,

and as you do,

let your body release its tension

and let the soft folds of the bed

blend with you.

LONG PAUSE

As you breathe in again,

imagine a house on the 

edge of the woods,

a house bathed in winter snow,

with smoke dancing out of a chimney.

PAUSE

Now, imagine yourself 

standing in front of the house at nighttime,

dressed in a warm clothes

that hug you and keep you comfortable.

PAUSE

And as you stand outside,

in the beautiful winter air,

you notice the full moon above,

a brilliant, shining orb that 

washes its silvery light over 

the house, the snow, the woods, and you.

PAUSE

And in the distance, you hear a noise,

softly at first, but then it grows stronger,

Whooo, Whooo.

Whooo, Whooo.

An owl calls to you from the woods.

PAUSE

Now, imagine yourself 

taking a step in the snow.

It crunches beneath your foot,

but gently gives way to you.

So, you take another step

and another.

PAUSE

And with each step you take,

you draw closer and closer 

to the beautiful woods 

near the house.

PAUSE

And, as you reach the woods,

you pause 

and hear the owl calling again.

Whooo. Whooo.

Whooo. Whooo.

PAUSE

For a moment, 

you look at the woods,

deep into her heart,

a heart teeming 

with life and mystery.

PAUSE

Slowly, you step into the woods,

the crisp snow crackling softly

beneath your feet again,

the moon lighting a path

for you to follow.

PAUSE

Whooo. Whooo.

Whooo. Whooo.

The owl’s call is clear,

a call that guides you

into her woods.

PAUSE

With each step you take,

deeper and deeper into the woods,

a feeling of calm and

a sense of knowing

become stronger and stronger.

PAUSE

Standing in the woods,

you take a moment 

to bask in the present.

In doing so, 

you spy a deer and her fawn.

PAUSE

The doe stops and

looks up at you,

still, and all-knowing,

You feel her understanding,

After a moment,

she and her fawn 

go on their way.

PAUSE

The owl’s call 

glides through the air again,

and this time, you answer,

Whooo. Whooo.

Whooo. Whooo.

PAUSE

Giant wings 

flap above you,

and you crane your neck

to see.

PAUSE

The moonlight unveils a

magnificent owl 

sitting on a tree branch

just above you.

PAUSE

Silently, you and the owl

look at one another, 

connecting, understanding

in wonder.

PAUSE

After a moment, 

the owl draws closer,

and you look into her

golden eyes.

PAUSE

For a moment,

you see the world spinning

in the owl’s eyes,

filled with life and knowledge

that the owl shares with you.

PAUSE

Imagine, now, that the world

In the owl’s eyes 

becomes our galaxy,

and then other galaxies–

universes far away,

all sharing their wisdom with you.

PAUSE

You breathe in the knowledge,

then gradually reach out

to the owl 

who steps on your arm. 

PAUSE

For a moment,

you both just look

at one another.

Then softly and gently,

The owl wraps her wings around you

like a feathery blanket 

PAUSE

You snuggle in,

feeling protected,

understanding all there is 

from this incredible creature.

PAUSE

Together, you and the owl

stand as One.

One in all the forest,

One in all of nature,

One in all the universe.

PAUSE

And slowly, you breathe in,

and as the breath sweeps 

into your lungs,

you feel the owl 

and her wisdom

nestle deep in your heart.

PAUSE

So, you begin your journey

out of the woods,

step-by-step

over the crackling snow.

back to the house

at the edge of the woods.

PAUSE
