Ordinary Rituals
Rituals
they are things I do on the outside
to honor and celebrate
my relationship with the Ultimate
which is the most intimate I have.
My rituals,
may seem ordinary to some,
but to me they are transformative.
The moments I spend
writing in my journals
is about creating a sacred space where
I honor and memorialize moments that
to me are not ordinary.
My rituals,
which are honoring what I am grateful for,
what inspires me,
what my intentions are,
and what brings me joy,
just reaffirm my faith
and keep me connected to the Ultimate.
These ordinary rituals
keep me in a state of peace,
because I cannot be anxious
when I am with the Ultimate.
When I share with others,
I build community
through the feeding of
myself and others.
Whether it is what I write in my journals,
or the prayers I offer,
or the time I spend listening,
comforting,
cleansing,
helping people transition,
writing a poem,
or pouring libations,
they are Divinely ordinary and not.
They are more then the time I spend
they become more than ordinary
because of the intention behind them.
These ordinary acts
keep me connected
and growing with the one
who has taught me
to see and sense the extraordinary
in the ordinary.
