#070: The Eternal, Ever-Changing, Oil Painting (Alternate III)

Go outside and lie down (or lie under a skylight or glass roof) and look up at the sky.  

Pick a small area and concentrate on it, as if it were an oil painting in a gallery.

Take in the clouds, especially.  

Look at their shapes, follow their edges, watch them drift into, across, and then out of your painting’s frame.  

Take your time to breathe in and feel the moment, relax into the scene and savour it.

Try to remember how you feel, keep this eternal, ever-changing, oil painting with you and, when you need it: close your eyes and recall it.  Clouds of different shapes and sizes drift silently on by as you breathe and relax.  And then, the scene playing in your mind, think about nothing else and just 


Watch.  


Feel. 


Breathe.  


Be.
