You enter a quiet space. Soft light filters in. Your eyes adjust to the calm. You notice lavender hanging upside down from a beam. The stems are long and slender. The light catches the drying buds. You see the texture of the wood beam. The air is still. You begin to color. Your hand moves slowly. You focus on the lines of the stems. The gentle curve of the buds. The quiet of the space surrounds you. Your breath is slow. You are near the lavender. You feel the calm. Your color choice is deliberate. The act of coloring is slow. You are in the moment. The world is far. Your focus is on the lavender. The darkness of the beam. The brightness of the light. You color. You breathe. You are still. You color the drying lavender.
