Ritual Practice

Take a single sheet of paper. Draw a simple tree. On its branches, write words representing obligations, habits, or thoughts that feel heavy. With a pair of scissors (as the urban saw), carefully cut away one drawn branch. Crumple the cut piece and discard it, then place a small green object (a leaf, herb, or green stone) where the branch was.
