The following children's
story, "One Day Winston The Wave Woke Up," shares the experience of
a wave as it finds itself no longer in the middle of the sea but close
to shore, facing an uncertain future.
This story may
elicit thoughts and questions from our child which, if we are
able to maintain mindfulness while answering these questions and sharing
our feelings, can help to further expand the power of the practice.
