Rituals are a central part of life whether it be in how meals are shared together, or how major events are marked.... Rituals give us places to be playful, to explore the meaning of our lives, and to rework and rebuild family relationships. They connect us with our past, define our present life, and show us a path to our future as we pass on ceremonies, traditions, objects, symbols, and ways of being with each other, handed down from previous generations.
To Practice This Thought:
Name the one ritual--religious, family, or personal--which means the most to you. Why is it so significant?
