Dream Gate · Attention at the Thresholds
A daytime listening practice: first only room air, then birds on the left, a distant stream on the right and a sparse bowl in the centre appear and withdraw in turn. Notice the moment each sound begins and ends, and what is happening in your body and around you at the same time. Directions are clearer on headphones; it also works on speakers. A listening practice.
The same recipe with another seed: the raindrops, the order of the birds or the path of the chords change; the rules and evidence level stay the same.
