LONG PAUSE Become aware of your back, as it presses gently against the sheets, sinking into them. LONG PAUSE And feel the rest of your body dip, ever so slightly, into the softness of the bed. LONG PAUSE Now, see if you can imagine an electric guitar playing just a few notes of reggae softly in the distance. PAUSE The notes have a rhythm, a rhythm that dissolves into you, and you feel your body begin to sway. PAUSE And,after a moment, you hear a soft drum joining the bass guitar, and the rhythm feels stronger in you. PAUSE And, together, music floats through you, gently bending and swerving your body to the rhythm. PAUSE Now, see if you can imagine being draped in a cotton dress with the colors of the ocean sweeping through it. PAUSE And the dress ebbs and flows with you and the music, and catches the breeze like a wave. PAUSE While dancing you look down at your feet, as the tug of the music moves them on a powdery beach. PAUSE The warm sand kisses the bottom of your feet, soft and tender, and lets you move freely and comfortably to the beat. PAUSE And while dancing, a little girl hands you a purple orchid for your hair. PAUSE And you place the orchid behind your ear, as the sun glistens between the stands of your hair. . PAUSE The little girl takes your hands, and together, you weave in and out to the vibrant pulse of the music. PAUSE After a few moments, the little girl runs down to the beach, picking up shells every few steps and still dancing.. PAUSE You turn back to the band that pauses, while one of the players, talks in a voice as melodious as his guitar. PAUSE When his lilting voice stops, you hear the unmistakable cracking of drumsticks, and the whine of the guitar. PAUSE And then, the crowd around you cheers, as the band plays some Bob Marley, and everyone dances. PAUSE Laughter and shouts of joy permeate the air, and run through your body like the infectious beat of the music. PAUSE And as you dance, you notice that every breath you take is scented with coconut and pineapple that tickles your nose. PAUSE And as you twirl with and around the others, time stops; there is only now. PAUSE And, after a while, the sun dims and slips beneath the horizon, just beyond the purpose ocean. PAUSE And the music keeps on playing, and the people dancing, in the light of tiki torches and a pearl moon. PAUSE After a while, the vibrant energy inside you starts to shift to a feeling of calm and contentment. PAUSE The music slows, and the crowd begins to thin until the last pulse of the drum is heard. PAUSE So, you smile and wave to the man with the electric guitar. And he winks and grins for he knows you’ll come again. PAUSE And you walk away from the tiki torches into the Jamaican night, midnight blue and breezy with the aroma of ocean salt on your skin. PAUSE And as you walk down the beach feeling contented and blessed, the reggae keeps playing, every-so-softly in your heart. Now and always.
