Sit against one tree

Borrow steadiness from something that does not hurry.

The invitation

Begin where you are.

  1. Choose one tree and sit with your back supported by its trunk.
  2. Feel where your weight is held without effort.
  3. Do not ask the tree for wisdom. Let physical contact be enough.
  4. Stay for twenty minutes, especially after the first impulse to leave.
