Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Opening Ritual

[racheli (racheli]

Racheli,
Tucson.

My impression is that while some people enjoy (perhaps even
need?) rituals, others do well without them.  I'm in the latter category,
so I don't know that I'd ever initiate rituals, but I'm mindful that there
are those who really love them - and
I can easily go along (within reason :))
