Humans are funny.

Why do we make up rituals?

It must be for millennia we’ve be making these things up. Silly humans.

That said, I love rituals. Here’s a silly one.

Lately I’ve been playing the puzzle, Wordle, on the New York Times Games app in my smartphone. A friend invited me to join a small group that shares the results of their effort each day via sms text message. So simple, and so fun!

I think the underlying joy of me is the connection I feel somehow to the rest of the group, knowing a little more about habits and routines (and intelligence!) along the way.

Maybe that’s an underlying purpose of ritual … an effort to bring more meaning and connection, depth and texture, to our lives,

Even with something as relatively meaningless as a game. 🤔
