Ritual prevents the ordinary from dissolving into invisibility. If you light a candle at dinner, the meal becomes an event. If you walk at the same time each day, it becomes more than exercise. Anthropologists will tell you that rituals function as technologies of attention: certain ordinary acts aren’t trivial, they’re the architecture of meaning.
Idea
Kate Baer

like a peach in season, suck the juice

or uninvited guests peering in my windows.

a thousand times. I will let the want into
my body, bless the heat under my skin.
My life, I
