Well said. I sometimes have felt guilty that the ritual was all that was moving me forward. But you have illustrated that we fragile humans, by necessity, require ritual to maintain our devotion and thereby strengthen and continue relationship. Thank you for this.
So very true! My mother, a convert, was able to understand and value rituals far better than my dad and I, who were born into them, so to speak. We learned and took into our hearts the rituals of the faith thru her!
