"The seaplane rises and the islands shrink to map-size again. But you are no longer the same size you were when you arrived. Something has expanded that cannot be compressed back."
Gentle
Grounding, sensory prompts to ease into reflection
✋ Do
As you travel home, keep your anchor object close. Touch it when you need to remember.
Keep it in your pocket or hand
👁 Sense
As the seaplane rises, watch the island shrink to the size of a leaf, then a seed, then nothing. You were there. Now you're here. The transition happens in silence, in the sky. Let it happen.

∞ Meaning
Make one commitment: how will you protect what you've found here?
Write this down and keep it visible
∞ Meaning

Your Reflections
These prompts are for you alone. Write in a journal, speak them aloud, or simply let them move through you. There is no right way to reflect.
