Choose a specific being in your environment (whether it is a tree, a flower, the sky, or a bird that visits your yard each morning).
For a period of two weeks, spend a few moments (five to ten minutes) each day observing the being. Record your observations in a notebook or text file. Include the time of day, weather, and your location as well as your impressions and observations.
At the end of the two week period, read over your observations. Think about how the being has changed during this period of time. Do you feel more connected to it? Is it stillsimply just a tree, a bird, a flower to you or has it become something more?
