Tied At Dock

You approach a quiet dock. An empty rowboat is tied to it.

Print at home and begin your mindful coloring session.

You stand on the dock. It is old and worn. The wood is weathered. You see the rowboat. It is empty and still. The rope that ties it is frayed. You notice the water. It is calm and quiet. You look at the dock’s pillars. They rise from the water. You see the rowboat’s reflection. It is clear and sharp. You begin to color. You start with the dock. You choose your pace. You move slowly. You color the wood. You color the rope. You color the rowboat. You color the water. You notice your breath. You breathe slowly. You color quietly. You focus on the lines. You follow them with your attention. The world slows down. You are still.
