Sitting on the lanai, hearing the waves lap against the shore.

Smell the ocean breeze.

Feel the soft wind on your face.

See the light curtain billow in the gentle breeze.

Settle back in your rattan chair, cool refreshing drink nearby.

Hear the ice clink against the side of your glass as you sip your refreshing drink.

Hear the gentle wind chimes.

Breathe deeply, enjoying the fragrance of fresh, tropical flowers – the heady scent of orchids, plumeria, roses. Perhaps pink, climbing roses.

See the uniform sections connected into a symmetrical arc of segments . . . .a globe. Carefully, slowly pull on one of the segments. So slowly that you see the burst of juice that squirts out. Inhale. Smell the refreshing fragrance that erupts as the orange is broken into segments.
