Rituals
When we hear rituals, we might think of religious ceremonies. These are certainly important and can be powerful, but rituals reach much deeper into our lives. Any actions that are chosen for their symbolic meaning are rituals. Rituals appeal to us as storytellers, as sense-makers. My wife and I had the opportunity to attend a ceremonial dinner at Homerton College, Cambridge, during which a new Fellow was inaugurated. The conferring act was a ritual, but so were the gowns, the speeches, the gong, the prayer in Latin and dinner itself. We can all use rituals to add meaning to our lives.
