The Ritual
Any serious attempt to try to do something worthwhile is ritualistic.
It seems

adjust my hips,
straighten my back,
and breathe deeply.
All to just sit—
and listen
to the sea.

The most we can do is to write — intelligently, creatively, evocatively — about what it is like living in the world at this time. — Oliver Sacks
