Alien Planet, A Meditation.
You are an alien.
Drawing by Seo Kim
You live on a soft clouded rainbow covered planet.
You are a guard of planetary orbits and keeper of celestial merriment.
You wrangle comets, art direct eclipses and travel by Moondog, a space dog who’s fur it made of velcro so you won’t ever fall off in space.
On your planet, emotions are a limited resource, so you have to share them.
Close your eyes. Visualize all the emotions surrounding you. Soft particles of cloud, reflected in the sunlight. Some clouds are coated in the light of a tiny rainbow. Some look like very faint stars. When you are ready, breathe in the emotions surrounding you, and as you breathe in, feel them fill up your whole body. Filling up your knees, your legs, your toes, your bottom. Then, breathe them back out - filling the room with feelings. It’s night time now, and the reflection on the emotions is that of the moon, a soft hazy dusty blue.
