Invitation #1

Stand for a moment and look around to see where you are at this moment.  When you're ready, close your eyes, or focus them to a soft gaze.  Notice the sensations of the air on your skin - your arms, your face, etc.  

Next, listen for sounds - far away sounds, then nearby.  Are there rhythms or patterns?  What else are you noticing?  

Are there scents in the air?  If you breathe in as if sipping through a straw, is there a taste in the air?  

Whatever you find pleasure - invite that it.  Then open your eyes slowly to come back to this spot.  

Walk slowly like a bear or deer to Invitation 2.  As you walk, what do you notice around you?
