Mischief is the first to arrive

I ran across this in my docs.  Do you know what I 'm referring to?  It took me a minute but I remember now.

   Far off in the distance the sounds of cars rushing down the freeway can be heard.  But here in the secluded darkness it is very quiet.  The only light is from the stars overhead and even that has to filter through the thick black netting which surrounds and covers the area.  As I reach the center of the clearing I reach down and lift the lid allowing a large cloud of steam to escape.  It soon dissipates to reveal a calm pool of black water with a thin layer of mist just above the surface.  As I step down into the depths I notice that  Mischief is the first to arrive at his post and I wonder if he is the only one on duty tonight.  But I know that they will all come.  They always do, taking up their positions, diligently keeping watch, protecting us from unseen things that would undoubtedly cause us great pain and suffering if able to get past the sentrys.  As I lower myself down into the darkness, the warmth of the water envelopes me, soothing me, relaxing me as I float comfortably just at the surface.  I lay my head back so that only my nose and mouth break the surface.  I hear the water rush into my ears for an instant then nothing…..

Silence, except for my own breathing and the sound of my heart beating.  I am safe.  The sentrys are all here, though I can't see them I feel their presence all around me, like the water, enveloping me with love and warmth and peace.   As my eyelids close I think about how they are blocking the light of  stars that warmed their own worlds a hundred thousand years in my past.  I ponder going there, someday, as my own journey begins…….
