The Field of Stars

A slate-blue warrior kneels in seiza on a grassy hill by a stream, one palm raised, under a dense star cluster.

Seiza is kneeling with the weight back on the heels. One palm stands upright in front of the chest while the other rests on the thigh. This is stillness of mind, kept ready to rise.

Lethen is an invented world. Its sky shows a globular cluster, a tight ball of stars held together by gravity, modelled on Omega Centauri.

Practice

Kneel in seiza for three minutes, then stand up smoothly.
