QUESTIONS
1. Text: Which words in the text associate with “light”? What does “nature’s dancing throng” consist of? Give a synonym to “waft away”. Write in your own beautiful words a sentence/essay/poem about the perfect person.
2. Drawing:Draw an illustration to the exercise. Draw a perfect person. Draw three pictures entitled Truth, Love and Wisdom (or Acting, Feeling and Thinking): in images, colors or shapes.
3. Questions: Can someone really be perfect? If Love, Wisdom and Truth are three fairies what would you ask of them? If your thought, feelings and actions were thе three sides of a triangle, how would it look like; could you say that the sides are equal? Why love, wisdom and truth are related to the pink, yellow and blue colors?
4. Experience: Tell us of situation and experiences when you have done something with effect on you, on others and nature at the same time. Or situations when you have thought, felt and acted simultaneously in perfect harmony with yourself.
5. Imagination: Imagine, while you play the exercise, that inside the circle is pink, forward is blue and outside the circle is yellow.
6. Affirmation: Write your own positive affirmation for Evera. For example: I can think, feel and act well.
7. Quotes: Mohandas Gandhi “Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.” Immanuel Kant“Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.” Antoine de Saint Exupery “Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.” Find your favourite quotes.

Turning to the right and forwards in respect to the movement in the circle. |
Both arms outline descending semicircles down and to the right side while simultaneously the body turns to the right. The arms move parallel, stretched, with palms down, and reach horizontal position forwards. |
The toes of the right foot rotate to the right (forwards), and the weight of the body gradually transfers to it. In the process of weight transfer the heel of the left foot takes off and the foot rotates on toes to the right (forward). Toes never lift from the ground. |
