You stand in a desert wash. The ground is flat. Small rocks are scattered. You look down at the pebbles. They are smooth. Water has polished them. You see the pebbles up close. Each one is unique. You notice the colors. You start to color the pebbles. You choose your colors carefully. You work slowly. You focus on each pebble. You notice the texture. You color the stones. You see the colors blend. You feel calm. You continue coloring. Your pace is slow. You are quiet. You finish coloring. You step back. You see the pebbles. They are colored. You are still.
