We Are Here For It by Lexie Wolf

This past weekend, we gathered for Yoga Garden’s closing ceremony. There was music, laughter, tears, and an overwhelming sense of gratitude. More than anything, I felt thankful that we had the chance to pause together and fully witness the ending of something meaningful.

And perhaps that is what ritual offers us at its best: not a way to hold onto things forever, but a way to pay attention while they are here.
