First Rain
Step outside after the weather breaks and notice the world returning one sensation at a time.
The Spark
- 1
Walk slowly or stand together, noticing one scent, one sound, and one surface changed by the rain.
- 2
Each person chooses a safe detail for the others to experience, such as cool railing, wet leaf, damp air, or sheltered drip.
- 3
Return inside, dry off one another's hands or hair if welcome, and share the warm drink.
