Rituals are acts that we perform again and again. For some reason. Because they are reliably repetitive, we benefit from their rhythms.
Some rituals are idiosyncratic and private. We carry them out alone. They keep us healthy and sane.
Other rituals are formal and public. Think of rituals associated with religions and governments.
Sports teams have rituals. Families have rituals. Clubs have rituals. Friendships have rituals.
Some rituals depend on your age. Some depend on the seasons. Others depend on gender.
Write about one or more of the rituals you have, or once had, in your life.
When you have finished, give your work a title and write the date on it.
