After meditating in the Alluvial Caves for what seems like days, I awake suddenly from a deep trance. The water still burbles in the color-changing fountain next to me. The stillness surrounds me like a comforting blanket. I struggle to remember my dream….it tickles the edges of my consciousness, teasing me from the boundaries of sleepland. The fountain changes from yellow to purple and a vision of flowers flashes before me. I blink and then glance at the cave floor. Before me is a packet of seeds that I’m sure were NOT there when I arrived. I pick them up and squint at the fine print: “Wild Powers…the Power to find Beauty anywhere.” I smile as I pull out one seed and plant it at the base of the fountain. Placing the packet of remaining seeds into my pack, I collect my things and stand up. Time to be moving again.
