A quiet space.

Inhale. Hold. Exhale.

Follow the slow circle through cycles of measured breath. A 4–7–8 rhythm.

One stone at a time.

Stack pebbles against a gentle sway. Rush, and the tower falls.

Watch. Stay.

Rest your gaze on the candle and hold still. The flame steadies with your attention.

Strike. Listen.

Five singing bowls in pentatonic. Strike them and let the tones overlap.

Rake. Place. Wander.

An open sand bed and a small basket of stones and plants. Compose. Your garden is saved.

Write. Release.

Send a small light into the dark. Look back tomorrow to see it overhead.

Hold as it comes in.

A wave rolls up the shore and recedes. Hold with the water, let go as it leaves.

Be still. They come.

Fish scatter at a restless hand and gather to a calm one. Keep the water quiet.

Connect. Name.

Draw lines between stars into a figure of your own. Name it and it stays in the sky.

Stir the breeze.

Drag a gust across six pentatonic chimes and let them sway and ring.
