You are life living inside of life. This meditation will bring you into a state of being that enhances your perception of your embeddedness with all of nature, and the landscape you find yourself in. It is part of a toolkit that cultivates your ecological literacy. This is the ability to read and understand the ways that the living world expresses itself -- to understand the natural systems that make life on earth possible.  The practice is followed by a brief writing exercise, if you so wish to do it. I recommend bringing a pen and paper to write with.
