    What an interesting question.
    Reading, writing, cooking, gardening, baking, creating, hiking – all in bits, and gratitude, but I have not thought of them as rituals or practices, and I think that if I did so consciously, the ability of it to restore me and “bring me home to myself” would be stronger for it.

    The practice or ritual that has been most consistent: Sunday Mass. Some rituals and practces are not as consistnet as that, but a close second is also Saturday mornings. I joke that as tough as the last week may have been, as I clean my coffee maker every Saturday morning (after I've drunk the days coffee) I'm engaging in a hope-filled action — a future affirming action — by going through the ritual of cleaning the coffee maker as it prepares the way for another seven days coffee; a prep...

    My journal which I have written in for over twenty years. The writing is cathartic, and reading old entries is insightful.

      I do this too, Maurice. I too find it very helpful and useful to go back and reread my diaries from years ago.

  • Michele

    My daily morning practice of coming onto this website starts my day off grateful. My evening practice before bed of watching some ASMR videos helps relax me to finish my day.

  • Kevin

    Photography, being with my family, rowing with my teammates, and participating in my faith community all help to ground me as a person each and every day.

    Sitting on a railway station. Any train that is coming, is a thought. Not entering the train. Just being there. It is like sitting on a dot that is exactly in the middle of likes and dislikes; pleasure and pain. It is a yes to how the moment is presenting itself. I am that wellwishing yes.

    My Morning Ritual. After a cup of coffee into nature, watching the sun rise and then I do a morning prayer. It feels good that I haven’t seen any messages from the news, haven’t looked at any mail yet, haven’t looked at the apps on my mobile yet. I still feel the peace that sleep has given me in the night..🌞🕊
