They have been my gateway to spirituality, whatever than means. I approach them the same way a Christian would approach Easter or Christmas or any other ritual.

They have been my gateway to spirituality, whatever than means. I approach them the same way a Christian would approach Easter or Christmas or any other ritual. They are indeed a ritual which "happened to happen" to me. They are sacred under the only definition of sacred that I'm 100% comfortable with: that which keeps on giving regardless of how many times you have interfaced with it.
