SWINGING FROM A STAR

A Child's Meditation in Song:
(and a big thank-you, to granddaughter, Jaqueline, for taking Grandpa T. into an instant meditation, not once, but three times, during a California river walk!)



SWINGING FROM A STAR
.
1.
See a lovely little child,
smiling up at you.
You can't help but smile right back
so that's just what you do!
2.
Standing right in front of you
Asking you to be quite still.
So you accept the invitation
and with stillness you are filled.
.
Your eyes....are gently closed.
You breathe in....really deep.
And when your peaceful breath spills out,
you're almost....half asleep.
3.
You're feeling, oh so playful
with this child who seems so bold.
But you're smiling as you listen,
relaxing, like you're told.
4.
You listen to the words
and follow every cue
and with a gentle willingness
you do all, you're asked to do.
.
Your eyes... are gently closed.
You breathe in...really deep.
And when your peaceful breath spills out,
You're almost....half asleep.

5.
Then, far out in the universe,
yet, right in front of you,
that little child is swinging,
from a star in front of you.
6.
Swinging out into the universe,
and back to where you are.
Full of peace... and smiling,
swinging... from a star.
.
Your eyes.... are gently closed.
You breathe in really deep.
And when your peaceful breath spills out You're almost.... half-asleep.
7.
Then you become that little child
swinging from a star.
Eternal peace, unending,
that's who you really are.
8.
Swinging out into the universe
and back to where we are.
Bringing peace to all of us,
while swinging from a star.
.
Your eyes... are gently closed.
You breathe in....really deep.
And when your peaceful breath spills out,
you're almost...half asleep.
9.
Relax, is what you do
Peace, is who you are.
A smiling, happy little child,
Swingng from a star.
10.
Peace flows out from you.
Peace is who you are.
A lovely, smiling little child,
swinging from a star.
.
Your eyes... are gently closed.
You breathe in....really deep.
And when your peaceful breath spills out,
you're almost...half asleep.
.
(softer and softer)
And when your peaceful breath spills out,
you're almost...half asleep.
.
You're almost...half asleep.
.
Almost...half asleep.
.
