Ritual Practice

Fill a clear glass with water. Write on a small piece of paper a single word representing a structure in your life that feels rigid or is changing (e.g., 'routine', 'role', 'belief'). Fold the paper and submerge it in the water. Watch the ink bleed and the paper soften for one minute. Then, pour the water and dissolved paper onto the soil of a houseplant, saying: 'What dissolves in me nourishes what grows in me.'
