Ritual Practice

Take a spool of thread (or create one by wrapping yarn around a pencil). Hold it, then slowly unwind exactly three feet onto a white surface. As you unwind, whisper three forgotten creative ideas you once had. Then rewind the thread completely, saying 'What was lost is now remembered.' Keep the spool on your desk for three days.
