Embodied Elements

Write a journal entry as though you are a specific element of nature, like a tree or a river.

Considering the perspective and life cycle of a non-human entity can enable you to think creatively, offer fresh insight into natural processes, and open your mind to the interconnectedness of all living things. Spark your imagination by describing how it feels to be that element, from growing and changing through seasons, to your interactions with other aspects of nature and humans. Use this prompt to reflect on deeper themes like resilience, cohabitation and your own connection to nature.
