This captures so much of the internal change the last few years have brought me. I resonated especially with the role personal rituals can have and how they can help navigate grief. Enjoyed this!
Thanks Priya! So glad to hear it resonated. I wondered while writing it if it would make any sense to either the believers or others… The role of rituals is so fundamental to humans and this discovery has been illuminating for me.
I grew up with rituals but have realized a more personal connection with them only now. I don’t know if it’s a coming back/ a new understanding of the old or if it’s new. Ha, I don’t know if that makes sense!
Beautifully written and reflected on.
Thank you Neha! Sorry I somehow missed your comment earlier. Thanks for stopping by.

Totally understand. I rejected most of them growing up, but see value in many of them now. Some of them are best left behind ofc :-)
beautifully done.
Thank you dear Mary!!
"mosquito-ridden halls" is excellent
Thank you ! I once watched whirling dervishes in such a hall…
Isn't it a good thing they're (all) covered (I imagine)?
