DURING BELLS OF PRESENCE, THE CLOCK TOWER AT CORNELL RINGS NOT TO ANNOUNCE THE TIME OF DAY BUT TO CALL EVERYONE BACK TO THE PRESENT MOMENT. THE CHIMES-MASTER STRIKES DIFFERENT CHORDS AT VARYING INTERVALS OF TIME THROUGHOUT THE HOUR. WE BEGIN THE HOUR SITTING AMONG THE BELLS HIGH UP IN THE CLOCK TOWER. IN THE SECOND HALF, WE SILENTLY WALK DOWN THE STEPS OF THE TOWER AND PRACTICE MINDFUL WALKING ON THE QUAD BELOW. A TRIPLE BELL SIGNALS OUR TRANSITION FROM SITTING TO WALKING.
