Rituals & Remedies, Vol. 2

Theme: This is the 2nd volume of Rituals & Remedies which explores how we begin, endure, and end our days. Do you have any rituals or remedies that allow you to reimagine your week? The steam beaming off of a hot pot of water after 5 long minutes, the crunch of mint leaves, dipping your spoon in an upcycled honey jar for the nightly cup of tea. Do you burn sage or rosemary? Do you warm your small space with two tall, scentless candles brimming a dull light as you make your morning coffee? Do you slice a persimmon and eat it on your favorite floral plate? Do you say a prayer? Who do you wake up to in the morning and what do you say?
