It’s a warm, sunny afternoon when inspiration suddenly strikes! Sitting by the open window, you hear a gentle breeze rustling the leaves and birds singing outside. Insert a blank page into the typewriter and get to work! Each tap of your fingers creates a distinctive click as the keys strike the platen. The margin bell sounds, reminding you to advance the paper and begin a new line. You feel inspired, motivated, productive! Your fingers dance across the keys, creating rhythm and flow. Soon you reach the end of the page, and it’s time to load another pristine, white sheet. The new page may be blank, but in your mind’s eye, you see the possibilities.

Gliding through the dark water, you witness the leap of a fish breaking the surface, the warble of birdsong, crickets signaling one another that twilight has come. A sly woodpecker stashes one last acorn before nightfall. The rhythmic thrust of the paddle propels you smoothly forward. There is no rush here.

Slow and steady…a monitor verifies the patient’s heartbeat. The rhythmic drone is reassuring, communicating that all is well. As you sit here quietly with your loved one, you observe the busy-ness of caregiving. There are so many details! Sterile supplies are unpacked and refilled, charts are updated, housekeeping is performed, phones ring at the nursing station down the hall. Nearby, you overhear doctors discussing a case, and a gentle nurse assisting a respiratory patient. The atmosphere is calm, orderly, and efficient. Rest assured, the patients are in good hands.

It’s Independence Day! You’ve earned the freedom to pull up a lawn chair, eat potato salad, and wash it down with a cold one. The heat of the day has passed and crickets offer nature’s rousing version of a Sousa march. Listen – do you hear the fireworks in the distance? A shower of brilliant white glitter fills the night, it’s flames effervescent. Bottle rockets crackle, exploding in a brilliant green burst. Roman candles send up a fusillade of blue and green fireballs. Fizzing silver comets, frothy golden fountains, and erupting rings of red, white, and blue are thrilling to the senses. Let the spectacle fill you with the wonder of a child.

Relax as you enjoy this exquisite experience.

The combination of wind, waves, and sunshine is healing – melting away stress, leaving you feeling relaxed and peaceful.
