How to Bury a Goldfish: And Other Ceremonies and Celebrations for Everyday LifeUnitarian Universalist Association of Congregations, 2007 - 193 páginas How to Bury a Goldfish is an inventive collection of new traditions and rituals to commemorate and honor the many special moments and milestones in day-to-day life. Enjoyable and easy to follow, the rituals are short, cost almost nothing, and can be easily adapted to fit any lifestyle. The authors cover a wide range of life's events, both big and small, from helping a single friend begin a new home life, to making the passage into adulthood, to mourning the death of a loved one. Featuring a host of celebration ideas, this remarkable guide addresses more conventional occasions such as holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, family dinnertime, and nighttime prayer, as well as more unique experiences, such as a teen's first job, a women's midlife journey, and an elder's move into assisted living. Through the art of simple ritual and ceremony, How to Bury a Goldfish allows readers to slow down, sit in silence, and savor all of the precious moments that enrich our daily lives. Rituals and ceremonies include: a daily renewal for the morning shower, a Valentine's Day ritual for a sensitive single, a commemoration honoring a child's first performance, and a Thanksgiving celebration for a couple. * Offers more than 100 original celebrations and traditions for a wide readership, including rituals for men and women, old and young, families, parents, and singles. |
