Find a comfortable position,

and let your eyes close.

Take a deep breath,

and let any tension in your body fall away.

LONG PAUSE

Breathe some more,

And allow the stillness of the night

To calm you.

To relax you.

LONG PAUSE

Breathe again.

Allow your body

to let go,

to just melt into the bed.

LONG PAUSE

Now, imagine if you can,

a great horned owl,

perched majestically 

on a tree branch

outside your window.

PAUSE

As you look at the creature,

You see the seriousness

in his rich black eyes,

and also the calmness.

PAUSE

As you gaze at him,

a feeling of protection

unfolds around you.

you feel safe

with the guardian of the night

standing sentry near your room.

PAUSE

After a moment, 

a full moon 

peers out

from behind a sea of clouds.

The owl,

his tree,

and the entire world

are bathed in silver light.

PAUSE

As you watch from the window,

The owl spreads his wings, hoots,

and comes to the window sill.

In a moment, the great owl’s wings

wrap gently around you,

until you’re hoisted onto its back.

Together, you both take to the sky.

PAUSE

Secured safely in the feathers of the owl, 

you soar toward the moon,

toward the millions of stars

dancing in the night.

PAUSE

You can see the moon

reflecting in the owl’s eyes,

as you skim the tops

of tall pines in a forest.

Tonight, you are both

guardians of the night,

children of moonlight.

PAUSE

Then the sea whispers to you,

In between each roll of her waves. 

What does she say?

PAUSE

After a while,

the owl sinks into the trees,

and lands on a large limb,

overlooking a lake.

PAUSE

The lake shimmers

with the moonlight skipping upon it,

and a few fish bobbing up and down.

At first, you think the owl will swoop down

and scoop up a fish,

but the guardian stays still.

And waits.

PAUSE

Many moments pass,

But then you hear it.

Another hoot in the distance.

Another great horned owl approaches.

PAUSE

Moments later,

the second owl

lands on the branch,

and a chorus of hoots ensues.

PAUSE

At first,

the music of the owls

is a language not known.

Then magically,

their hoots transform Into words,

and you become privy to their conversation.

PAUSE

The two protectorates of the night

talk back and forth about their duties,

and how to keep the forest safe.

Then, just as quickly as it began,

the conversation ends,

and the second owl

takes to the sky.

PAUSE

Many moments pass,

and then the great horned owl

hoots again.

only this time, you understand.

you are on your way home,

back to the comfort of your bed.

PAUSE

The bird lifts its wings,

and together you fly in the moonlight,

steadily gliding into the night’s thin air.

Landing on your window sill, 

the owl bends over 

as you gently slide off its back.

As you walk to your bed,

you give a turn and one more look.

There, perched in the tree,

is your guardian of the night

ready to watch over you,

and keep you safe,

as you dream.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
