Print at home and begin your mindful coloring session.

You stand near the water’s edge. Cranes wade in the shallows. Their forms are quiet. You look at the cranes. They are still. Your eyes move to the water. It is low. The light is soft. It fades to dark. You see the cranes’ feathers. They are detailed. You notice the water’s edge. It is slow. The cranes move slowly. You focus on one crane. It is near. You see its feathers. They are soft. You look at the other cranes. They are far. You see their forms. They are quiet. You color the cranes. You color the water. You move slowly. Your hand moves. You breathe. You are still.
