  1. Moving forward
    Coolness of dawn     As the revolutions of my wheels beneath me propel me forward, I breathe in.
    Feeling the coolness of hte dawn's air against my skin, I breathe out.
  2. Birds dawning song
    Recognize small beauty     As I breathe in, I hear the birds first dawning song.
    As I breathe out, I enjoy the small beauty this song offers.
  3. Solidity in chair
    Solidity of Mother Earth beneath me     As I breathe in, I feel the solidity of this chair beneath me.
    As I breathe out, I recognize the solidity of Mother Earth beneath the wheels, supporting my practice.
  4. Summer flowers
    Beauty in the scent     I pause to smell a summer flower.
    As I breathe out, I recognize the beauty within the scent of the flower.
  5. Space moving forward
    Space within me     As I roll forward, I recognize my moving through space at the dawn's first air.
    As I breathe out, I recognize the space within my heart and mind.
  6. Recognizing tree
    Interconnection with the Earth     As I breathe in, moving forward, I recognize a tall tree beside me.
    Breathing out, I imagine its roots connecting deep within the earth.
  7. Stillness in chair
    Stillness within me     As I breathe in, I come back to a place of stillness within my chair.
    As I breathe out, I recognize the opportunity for stillness within me.
