The oldest waiting room
The trees
Trees don't hurry a feeling. Light, birds, a path. The nervous system borrows the forest's pace until its own pace remembers.
A first walk
- 1
Step outside, or to a window that holds a tree.
- 2
Let the eyes be soft. Name three living things, the way a child names a world.
- 3
Walk or sit until the breath matches something you can hear — wind, a bird, a far car.
- 4
Touch one thing that grew. Thank it. Come back.
