Imagine all the people…

Mindfulness 3

Imagine waking up and all your troubles were gone.

Imagine feeling at complete peace.

Imagine you had a clean slate, like a child; the baggage of the past didn’t exist and the future was just a thought you didn’t have yet.

Imagine hearing the sweetest, most uplifting, heart-stirring music you’ve ever heard, seeing the most beautiful scene you’ve ever seen, feeling the sweetest feeling you’ve ever felt.

Imagine a lake without a ripple, and the feeling of being that placid lake. Or every troubled thought and feeling washing off you like those droplets off a duck’s back.

Imagine.

Imagine no more no war, life without borders, and borders without fear.

Just for a moment: imagine you are ageless, bodiless, pain-free, with no burden at all; that you are something else and beyond.

Imagine all the people…living for today.

Now close your eyes and breathe. Listen.

Nothing else.

All your dreams have come true.

Happy Christmas.
