Walk into a natural area. It can be anywhere--- your garden, a favorite park, etc. Relax your mind and senses, and allow your instincts to carry you around in a small wandering walk. Eventually land yourself next to a plant. Just sit with the plant for a moment, then start writing stream of consciously. Note the sensory impressions of the plant: how does it look? Feel? Smell? Taste (if safe)? What surrounds the plant? What thoughts, memories, or ideas does the plant evoke? Keep writing until you have recorded all that you have noticed in the moment with this plant, and arising from this moment.
