Been off tumblr for years, and now that I've returned I see all the same girls I followed a decade ago posting. This is truly a preserved comfort place <3

We’re not conscious of most of these rhythms, except for the rhythm of our breathing or the beating of our hearts. At a different rhythmic time scale are the units of time that we orchestrate for our lives, day-to-day, month-to-month, year-to-year. Here, we find ritual as one of the most important ways we mark time and give our lives a predictable shape and pulse. While rituals, in particular, provide us with important rhythmic markers, the capacity for ritualization provides us with a very potent general tool for creating and manipulating the tempos of our lives. Rituals offer both the comfort of rhythmic regularity and the flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances, enabling us to keep time and stay in sync with the pace of life. With ritual, we can both keep time and keep up with time. - Byung Chul Han
