It was evening in the safe house.  Everyone finished dinner in silence as they awaited the COVID 19 update from Bouledevaire.  Suzie broke the silence  Well, I think we all know what we are waiting for – Bauldelaire can you begging your COVID `19 update for the group” said Suzie.  “Yes, of course.  I have good news and bad news once again.  Suzie your family is still COVID 19 clear.  Peter your wife is still testing negative for COVID 19.  Shadow your owner is fine.  Phoebe, my dear, your owner is now on respiratory.”  A silence fell over everyone.  They were all worried Phoebe would crack.  Instead, she stared into a spot on the wall, trying to avoid what she just heard. “Phoebe I speak for all of us  We are all here for you. Please reach out to anyone of us if you need to talk.  Suzie interjected at this moment, “I think we should do the meditation you talked about Captain Cattitude.  I think we all could use it,” she said. “Of course, everyone please place your feet flat on the ground and sit upright.  Place your hands in your lap.  Once everyone has done that I will begin the meditation.  Everyone ready?” said Captain Cattitude. Everyone nodded their head yes except for Phoebe.  She was still staring into space.  “Good, I will begin,” said Captain Cattitude.

You notice on the horizon two bright spots they are coming clearer and brighter as the twilight turns to day.  You are drawn to this light.  You walk in its direction.  A feeling overcomes you, and you are filled with love and happiness.  Your body starts to relax from your head to your toes.  You decide to lay down on a grassy part of the trail and look at the two rising suns’ rays as they begin to beat down on your body.    You feel complete and loved.  You fall into a deep state of peace.  There is no war, no fathoms nor pandemics.  You realize you are safe in God’s worlds. Nothing can hurt or harm you.  As you make the wy back own the path back to the beginning, you have a sense of warmth and love.   You may now come back to the room when you are ready,” said Captain Cattitude.

Everyone came back to the room.  Everyone that is, except for Phoebe. She lay face down on the table snoring.  It was decided that everyone would go to their room and reflect on the experience.  Baudelaire carried Phoebe back to her room and placed her in her bed…
