Settle in,
finding the perfect position–
The position that brings you
the most comfort.
LONG PAUSE
And once you’re in that perfect position,
become aware of your body in bed.
Notice where your hands are,
and what parts of your back,
sink into the sheets.
LONG PAUSE
Feel your head,
in the plush embrace of your pillow,
and how deeply comfortable,
it feels now.
LONG PAUSE
Take a minute,
and just enjoy these feelings,
these feelings of complete comfort,
and total relaxation.
PAUSE
Now, imagine a road and a small car,
and the road is narrow and winding,
as it snakes its way,
into some beautiful rocky hills.
PAUSE
And as your driving,
you notice the steering wheel,
iIs not where it normally is:
It’s on the other side.
PAUSE
And with that realization,
another comes:
You’re in the beautiful
Scottish highlands.
PAUSE
You roll down the window,
and breathe in,
cool, refreshing air,
noticing a blue sky,
with puffs of cloud,
sprinkled between the hills.
PAUSE
As the car drives on,
you pass some sheep grazing,
and you decide to stop.
PAUSE
The sheep welcome you,
as you come,
gently petting them,
running your fingers softly,
through their fleecy coats.
PAUSE
After a moment,
you hear a collective, “Bah,”
and somehow you understand:
They are grateful for your visit.
PAUSE
Back in the car,
you drive until you see
a small village sprouting up
from the ground.
PAUSE
As you draw closer to the village,
a stone church catches your eye.
The church’s gray steeple cuts through the air,
towering over the village,
reverent, like in prayer.
PAUSE
You stop for just a moment
to see the inside of the church,
and are struck by the hundreds of candles
flickering under statues and paintings of saints.
PAUSE
The air is tinged with incense,
and you realize the church
was in service just before
your arrival.
PAUSE
You find a quiet spot on a pew,
and say a prayer for peace,
breathing in the calm and beauty
of the little church.
Then you return to the car to explore some more.
PAUSE
As you approach the outskirts of the village,
a small tavern on a rocky hill
catches your eye,
and you stop to warm up.
PAUSE
Once you arrive,
the distinctive sound of bagpipes playing
hums in your ear–
with notes thick like honey.
PAUSE
Inside the little pub,
men and women sip pints
in hand-crafted pewter mugs
and laugh.
Their cheeks are rosy
from the cold air.
PAUSE
You order a drink and
find a seat at a long wooden table
where older men talk and talk,
completely unaware of the bagpipes playing.
PAUSE
A woman with flowing red hair
approaches you with a steaming bowl of soup
teeming with fish, onions and potatoes.
PAUSE
The soup is warm and cozy,
and you can feel it’s soothing heat
moving from your mouth to your stomach,
and it feels wonderful.
PAUSE
As you enjoy the last drop
of the warm elixir,
you thank the woman who kindly served you,
and bid her farewell.
There is one more place to see.
PAUSE
You drive away from the pub
into the countryside
until a magnificent medieval castle
springs from the landscape.
PAUSE
You stop and go in.
The castle is cool, like a cave,
and you pull your sweater
around you.
PAUSE
Throughout the castle are armors
from ancestral knights,
antique paintings,
and chairs of wood or iron.
PAUSE
You find a room with fireplace
and sit next to the burning flame.
The warmth is welcome.
