Cormack Baldwin

To satisfy a wizard’s curse, Cormack Baldwin must remain within twenty feet of a tree. Luckily, he can edit Archive of the Odd, a speculative found fiction magazine, within most major forests.

You can find a list of his works at cmbaldwin.carrd.co, or the man himself on Twitter @cormackbaldwin.

Grounding Exercise is a dark guided meditation that invites you to lose yourself in the sights and sounds of the forest. Here’s a snippet:

Life is where you stand, too. It is in your every cell. It clutches your heart. For every concrete barrier you erect, you cannot forget that you are of the same world as the soft rot beneath your feet. Feel it undulate now, feel it pulse just out of step with your treacherous heart. You must keep time with this world. You have spent too long thinking you could peel yourself cleanly away, return at will, run the world at your pace.

There is no running any longer.
