Playing Cards ~ Eastern Forest

Shuffle the deck and deal a miniature ecosystem. What links the lives of the creatures in your hand?

What connections – seen and unseen – do you have to these sylvan beings? Feel, look, listen, and smell: seek out the forest. Turn on your senses and explore the forest!

♥ are invitations to touch and feel through your skin: textures of plants, heat of animal bodies, and springiness of wood.

♦ awaken eyes to flash of firefly, gleam of wildflower, and patterns on leaves.

♣ open ears to the forest’s many howls, songs, footfalls, and tree rustles.

♠ call us to taste and smell yummy fruit and bitter leaf.
