I Can Use My Imagination

Take a seat.

Take a deep breath.

So deep that you make your belly really big.

Hold it for one second.

Now let it go.

Slowly.

Ahhhhh.

That feels good.

Let's play a game.

A game where we can become anything we want.

We can experience all the things we want and feel what we want.

Whatever we can imagine can be real.

Even if for just one second.

Let's imagine we are a tiny caterpillar walking on a flower petal on a warm summer day.

Can you feel the gentle heat of the sun?

The warm breeze?

Feel the flowers shiver and shake just a little underneath us when the wind blows.

Feel all of our legs move one at a time as we walk.

We have 16 legs and each leg is nice and strong.

That's amazing.

But now we can change and be something else.

What are we?

A butterfly.

We are so colorful.

Our wings are blue with tiny golden freckles and big brown circles that look like eyes.

We're standing on a tree in a garden.

It's so quiet and peaceful here.

I can hear birds chirping,

The leaves in the trees rustling,

Squirrels running up and down the tree chattering.

And we see pink flowers,

Blue flowers,

Red flowers.

The grass is so green.

It's a beautiful day.

We can be anything we want.

Now we become a bird,

But not a small bird.

We are a great big eagle.

We are high in the air,

Flapping our giant wings.

We can hear the wind rushing around us as we fly higher and higher.

Far,

Far away we can see mountains and forests.

Deer run through the trees.

Rabbits scurry in and out of shrubs.

And look,

A big fat bear lopes along slowly looking for something to eat.

We can see for miles and miles.

And now,

You can go back to being you.

Take a deep breath and smile.

Good job.
