Ritual

The art theme of this year's Burning Man is Radical Ritual.

Although some may rave against it, I'm all for it myself.

I suspect there will be a ritual spew eventually within this blog, if I ever amble up the gumption, but so far I've found myself involved in a ritual that I didn't even realize until now.

Before I do something of personal importance, I need a sense of accomplishment that is usually found through ritualistic tidying or cleaning. The bigger the project, the more ritual involved. No smudging of sage, though I do like the smell, but simply the do of some practical chore.

This is nothing new though. Cleansing rituals are fairly common, no matter what your spiritual slant.

Since my current list of ritual chores seems to be never ending, I need to go ahead and start building these fairy shrimps, regardless.
