It is a cool and sunny day.
You are outside at your favorite place.
Look around you.
Turning slowly,
Draw a circle around you as far as you can see.
What do you see?
Notice what parts of nature you can name.
Notice what you cannot name.
Smell the richness around you.
Do the smells match what you see?
Listen.
What do you hear?
What is the tiniest sound?
Sit down and touch the ground.
Feel its strength as it supports you.
Imagine the smallest organism.
What is happening below?
Now look to the sky.
What is above?
Consider what you do not see there.
The molecules in the air moving with the wind,
Bouncing from place to place,
Disappearing and reappearing.
Feel your breath as part of this air.
Put your hand on your heart.
Breathe and pause.
Stretch out your arms and give your love to this circle and beyond.
Notice the love coming back to you.
