Containers



On this day,
If you were a rock or mineral, what would you be?
If you were a microbe or fungus, what would you be?
If you were a plant, what would you be?
If you were an insect, what would you be?
If you were and animal, what would you be?
If you were a sentient intelligent species, what would you be?
If you were an angel, what would you be?
If you were an empty vessel, what would you be?

These can be imaginary or real. If you choose a real representation, you can seek out where these lifeforms may be in your local surroundings today and commune with them. Later on you can do the activity again, redefining yourself in new forms which you can then go visit. If you imagine fictional creatures, describe them. Create drawings or portraits of them.  

Once you mark your place in each of these evolutionary stages, imagine at least 1 intermediate stage in between each of them. What is the evolutionary intermediate between a rock and a microbe? What is the evolutionary intermediate between a plant and insect, or insect and animal? Once you create a concept of these intermediates, imagine what you would be as each kind of in between lifeform.



On this day,  
If you were a rock or mineral, what wisdom would you offer? What is your kingdom like?
If you were a microbe or fungus, what wisdom would you offer? What is your kingdom like?
If you were a plant, what wisdom would you offer? What is your kingdom like?
If you were an insect what wisdom would you offer? What is your kingdom like?
If you were an animal what wisdom would you offer? What is your kingdom like?
If you were a sentient intelligent species what wisdom would you offer? What is your kingdom like?
If you were an angel what wisdom would you offer? What is your kingdom like?
If you were an empty vessel, what wisdom would you offer? What is your kingdom like?

Record and attempt to explain the wisdom of these realms.
Describe your kingdoms. You can even go so far as to attempt to recreate them in real life, redressing your surroundings or adopting the cultural practices of these kingdoms.
As before you can explore the intermediate stages as well.
