In his most epic adventure yet, Willow the Wonderer ventures within to discover the ultimate life skill: the ability to choose your thoughts, condition your mind, and reclaim your joy.

The Story: The Power of Loving-Kindness
Willow the Wonderer wakes up to find a menacing grey cloud hovering over his head—a metaphorical reference to what he later discovers are repetitive negative thoughts that sucks away his joy. He tries to outrun it, ignore it, and hide from it, only to find it growing larger. By evening, Willow gathers his courage to do what few dare: he takes a step inside the cloud.
What follows is a surreal journey into the mechanics of the mind. Willow discovers that while we cannot control what happens to us in life, we can choose which thoughts and emotions we dwell upon. It is a heart-warming mission to turn the circuit breaker on negativity and find the antidote in loving-kindness and gratitude.
