Post Seven
As you come to each post, stop for a moment to read each prompt and build your story as you walk. You can also play this at home on an imaginary adventure.
Listen to an audio recording of each post below.
7: Around the field
As you reach the bottom, turn right, and then left and down.
Think about the sounds and smells around you. What do you hear? What do you smell? What do you see? Do you see a Grizzled Skipper Butterfly, with its checkered wings, dancing between the wildflowers? Let some of those details enter your story. Draw something that you see, or something you invent. Now let’s build our story.
What lives in nature in your story?
Gentle creatures
Watching spirits
Beautiful butterflies
Delicate flowers and wild orchids
A system of emergent conciousness
Invent something else
Think about the trees, talking to each other through their roots, helping their community thrive. Is there something hiding in the bushes, a pair of eyes watching over you while you descend further? Maybe they want to help?
