Breath in deeply
Gently close your eyes
Imagine that you are in the woods
The trees around you are pines
There is just enough light to see by,
but it comes to you from above the branches of the trees.
The trees are very tall,
and their branches don't start until very high up,
higher than a house.

Everything around you smells like pine,
The ground is covered with needles,
The trunks of the trees rise from those needles
straight and tall and rough and hard.

You can hear birds in the branches,
but you can't see them.
Except for the birds, there is no noise at all.

From somewhere in front of you,
you start to hear a sound.
It is the sound of a drum beathing.
It beats in time with your heart beat
As you pay attention to it, it starts to sound louder.

You walk towards the drum.

As you walk, you find the way is easy.
There seems to be a path between the trees.
Maybe the deer made it.
The path seems to lead the way you are going.
The pine needles are soft so you take off your shoes and barefoot.

You keep walking through the woods,
The pine trees start to grow closer together.
You keep walking and soon they are so close together that you can't fit between them anymore.
It's as if they have grown together into a wall.

So you start to follow the wall of trees until you come to a small opening
You are brave and step through the gap in the trees.
On the other side is a round clearing.
You can see the sky now.
Rising above the circle of trees is a golden full moon.
In the center of the clearing is a steep hill.
In the side of the hill is a small cave.
You go to the mouth of the cave and look inside.

There is a man sitting there looking at you.
He is sitting crosslegged on the ground.
He has antlers growing from his head.
His hair is rough and shaggy.
He is wearing pants that seem to be made of leather,
But his chest and feet are bare.
Now you notice that he is smiling.

On his lap is a bag of seeds.
He takes some out of the bag and gives them to you.
You thank him, and then he starts to fade away,
Around you the cave is also fading away,
The wall of trees, and the woods.
You find yourself right back with your friends in the circle.
You open your eyes, and here you are.
