“Fifteen minutes later, Betsy came thundering down the stairs. "I'm going to the mall with Sierra to see a movie."
Michael leaned forward, switched off the television. "Can you please rephrase that in the form of a question?"
"Sure. Can I have some money?”

“The propositions: To be human is to be religious. To be religious is to be mindful. To be mindful is to pay attention. To pay attention is to sanctify existence.
Rituals are one way in which attention is paid. Rituals arise from the stages and ages of life. Rituals transform the ordinary into the holy.
Rituals may be public, private, or secret. Rituals may be spontaneous or arranged. Rituals are in constant evolution and reformation.
Rituals create sacred time. Sacred time is the dwelling place of the Eternal. Haste and ambition are the adversaries of sacred time.
Is this so?”
― Robert Fulghum, From Beginning to End: The Rituals of Our Lives

“Never Give Up!”
