Stand.
Feel the wind.
Let it enfold you.
Once in its vortex, inhale.
Concentrate and close your eyes.
No one else is there.
Search...be sure.
See.
Feel.
Breathe out now.
Still, the wind lingers…
Focus your inner vision.
Inhale and give it detail.
Color it with smiles.
The wind blows...
Calls.
There.
Don’t let go.
Let the wind soothe you.
Solidify your vision.
Know that it can be all yours.
Exhale the colors.
Breathe the wind...
Smile.
Yes.
It’s right there.
Open your eyes wide.
Feel the wind, see the vision.
The vision is up to you.
The wind’s at your back...
Take your smile.
Live.
