RITUAL I 

You sit at your desk trying to find meaning in the words you have transferred from your inner being onto the screen. A flock of doves fly vigorously past your window surrounding you with an energetic sound of flapping wings.

Then suddenly „PANG “a bird knocks into the windowpane.

When you reach the window, you see that the bird has left a graphic imprint on the glass pane.

An impression of a dove.
You think of the invisible hindrances in your own life and the blind spots you carry with you. You wonder if you would survive such a collision and what kind of impression you would leave behind.

ACTION

Write a list with your urgencies
...or draw a bird.

CONTEMPLATION

How do questions about quality of life relate to what you are occupied with in your work?

RITUAL II

You are sunbathing.
The sunrays penetrate your body through your black fur making you steaming hot.
The door is open, and you decide to cool down inside.
You are startled to see a stranger on the sofa holding a small electric equipment in her hand.
She is about to push a red button when she stops to look at you.
Your wheeled friend smiles at you with a glimpse in her eyes telling you that everything is OK.
You rub your self against your friend and tell her that you are going to rest.
The woman presses the red button, and they start to speak.

You let the human voices hum you to sleep.

OBSERVATION
Pay attention to your body´s reaction to the text you have been reading. Do these sensations belong to you or the text?

ACTION

Create a list of skills or tools that you would like to possess.

CONTEMPLATION

In your experience, what is the difference between skill and tool, between method and methodology, between art and life? 

ACTION

Water a flower.

RITUAL III

You are blooming, 

your colourful flowers spread out towards the light.

You send signals to other beings with your vivid colours and intoxicating scent.

Hoping that a special someone comes, that is ready to spread your message.

The message for the future.

OBSERVATION

Look at your hands. Both sides.

CONTEMPLATION

What do you care about?

RITUAL IV

You walk into a home of a stranger; you open the door with a key that was given to you. An overwhelming smell of another person’s life penetrates your nervous system sending signals of nostalgia and melancholy to your body and mind. You feel like an intruder or a thief even though you were welcomed by the houseowner. It is not the first time you feel like an imposter. The absence of the family makes you think of time and reminds you of the conditions of life, impermanence. What comes, goes. “The first moments of this experience are already the past”, you say out loud into the empty entrance hall.

OBSERVATION

Observe how time flows.

ACTION

Write a list of things that you would like to change.

CONTEMPLATION
What is occupying your nervous system?
What is occupying your brain? Is your mind in agreement with your body?

LETTER FIVE - FINDINGS

RITUAL V

You are meeting your co-creator for the first time; she cheerfully greets you and invites you to sit in the living room. Soon she appears out from the kitchen with home made cakes and coffee. You look into her eyes and it’s like looking into an abyss, you sense an ocean of experience, emotions, hopes and dreams, sacrifices, loss, and disappointment.
When she starts to speak the sea bursts out of her like a force of nature.
You are immersed in her story.
Now it is a part of you.

OBSERVATION

Pay attention to your energy level right now.

ACTION

Stand up from your chair and dance for a minute.

CONTEMPLATION

What activities are energising for you?
