A practice which is elevated to the status of ritual emanates a special kind of power. This power is transformative, it enables us to experience the dance of our daily lives differently.
This power is transformative, it enables us to experience the dance of our daily lives differently. We see water as the life-giving force it is, appreciating its unique capacity to cleanse, purify and hydrate us. We observe the ways in which human hands have shaped wood and stone to create vessels, containers, a sanctuary, which hold and nourish us. We take pleasure in noticing changes of temperature, feeling the qualities of warmth and coolness upon our skin. Breathing in the heady aromas of the plant kingdom, we embrace stillness and listen for the pause in between sounds. Solace is found in the sacred mundane.
