One of the loveliest things to do is swing in a hammock. I hope you have one you can escape to, but if not, just imagine. Getting in can be a little tricky~ there, your entire body is comfortably cradled. Relax as you gently sway back and forth, back and forth. All of those thoughts jumping up and down, begging for your attention, begin to settle like sleepy children. Your senses kick into high gear. Feel your heartbeat and breath slow to match the rhythm of your swinging. Hear the chorus of birds singing. Smell the earth’s rich aromas. See the dappled sunlight dancing in the trees, revealing countless shades of green. Marvel at the intricate web of branches above you, reaching nearly a hundred feet in the air. This magnificent tree must have dwelled here for generations. Wow, that puts things into perspective doesn’t it? Now, close your eyes and stay for as long as you like.
