When creating rituals you open yourself
to be played with. Playfulness requires an
intentional move away from the “I’m in control of everything” trait
of the Warrior's Quester. For some this will take years. Possibly
a whole nurturingly embracing lifetime.
Remember, a ritual does not have
to be elaborate. It does not have to be complex.
It does not have to be a “star performance.” It might entail
simply the repetitive act of sitting across from each other and
looking. Looking until you peer and so recognize one another.
It might just be a foolish moment of giddy exuberance, Hi!
No ritual
need be permanent. Every day and every embrace
can be filled with novelty and random acts of
innovative ritualizing. But, for most, a few key
rituals will be developed over time.
You might find it useful
to keep a journal or notebook. Jot down the
rituals or aspects of a ritual which worked. In this light,
you’ll
produce a sensually precious recipe book in
which you and your beloved are the ingredients and the spice of
your imaginings.
