Love this, thank you for sharing. Ritual plays such an important role in my life as well.

I especially relate to your ritual of moving in the natural world. I am starting a garden soon. And I wonder if the rituals I build around that will be just as fruitful.

Wonderful! I’ve no doubt it will.
I sure hope so! I plan to report on it here as I get deeper into gardening :)
