Here's a little pre-be for you.
This retreat belongs entirely to you, a place where you can rest, a place where you can breathe, a place where you can simply be.
You go up to the comfortable chair and settle in and sit down.
The chair supports you perfectly and you take a soft blanket and place it across your body.
the evening is warm.
The blanket brings a feeling of comfort and security
with a light continuing to fade
and the violet sky
deepens into a rich, peaceful bloom.
The first star comes out
as the sky darkens
a little twinkling,
white light above the hills,
a tiny point of silver light
and another star appears
and another
and one by one
the stars reveal themselves
you watch
as the night sky
slowly fills with light
and some stars shine brightly
and others are faint and distant
and together they form a vast canopy
stretching far beyond anything you can see
and the stars are reflected in the lake below
like a mirror
creating that feeling that you are resting
between two endless skies
above you are the stars
reflected rushing gently over your face
touching the shore
in a slow soothing rhythm
fades away of your breathing
to follow this gentle rhythm
breathing
breathing in as the water moves towards the shore
and breathing out
as it slips quietly back into the lake
breathing in and breathing out
there's nothing you need to control
the breath knows what to do
the water knows where to flow
and ours know how
and for now you can simply
Simply allow yourself to be carried by the natural rhythm of this peaceful place.
And in the grasses beside the cabin, the cricket sings softly.
Their gentle chorus blends with the sound of the water.
Farther away, you can hear the quiet call of an owl.
Which sound seems to make the silence deeper.
Each sound reminds you how calm and protected.
This retreat feels
And imagine now that you rise from the chair
And walk slowly towards the end
Of the small wooden jetty
The wood beneath your feet is smooth and warm
From the summer sun and soft lanterns glow
Along the edge of the jetty lighting your way
You reach the end and find a comfortable
reclining seat waiting for you.
You sit down once more on the lake
surrounds you on three sides
and the sky feels even larger
and the stars closer
and the gentle movement of the water
beneath the jetty
creates a slight
gentle rocking sensation.
You notice a star
that has become a
the centre of your attention.
There is something reassuring about its steady light.
It shone across countless nights,
through changing seasons,
through peaceful times and difficult times,
light it shines above you.
