We’re a week out from a holiday gathering that nearly 90% of Americans celebrate. Although we do not support the historic origins of this tradition, we still wanted to offer a simple ritual for anyone seeking a more sacred experience this season. Prompts (for the table): 1️⃣ What do you now know that you didn’t a year ago? 2️⃣ In hindsight, what hardship are you now grateful for? 3️⃣ If you knew your days were numbered, what would you do? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Image 1: Design by John Stefanidis, Patmos Greece, in AD June, 1978 Image 2: Slow food, Carlo Petrini Image 3: Prayer candle, Susan Tyler Hitchcock for National Geographic
