'it opened and closed without ceremony' is thought-provoking sentiment Amy... it made me wonder, about what makes a formula for ceremony? how much big gesture, scripted intent, witnessing- ours and the the ones out there does it take for one event to be more ceremony and less for another another?
and perhaps that's another tangent to you letter, also loving the reminder to be mindful of the things that beautifully take up space.
In this case, the tea ceremony opened without any acknowledgement at all ... it simply started, and then it ended. And I didn't feel that anything was missing. It prompted my thinking about how little is really necessary to make meaning.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts... Lots of love back! xx
