They communicate acceptance, love, a sense of identity, esteem, shared beliefs, solemnity and memorable events.
Any ritual contains a tender and sacred moment.
For in that moment a tenderness and sensitivity brings us out of the normal flow of life. We in fact step out of our routines. We touch an event that is truly precious and sacred. In ritual we are participating in something that is profoundly symbolic. We allow the depth of what we feel to shine through and we enter into a myth that touches deep into the human spirit.
