Rituals

    Rituals are labyrinths with meaning at their centre. They feature more prominently than at first you might expect. Rituals are the patterns that give our lives order, the routines through which we create structure. They give us a sense of security. We take comfort in the familiar. As creatures of habit, rituals are the way we make sense of our lives. Many of the rituals we perform daily have become so engrained that we perform them unthinkingly – actions we repeat when we wake up, get ready for work, get the children ready for school, have meetings, talk on the phone, prepare to go out at night, or get ready for bed.
