Rituals of Creation; Rituals of Connection; Rituals of Contemplation

Vincent Van Gogh Père Tanguy, 1888 

Found the phrase "rituals of creation" in my June journal of this year.  I list daily haiku, morning pages, Jeff Tweedy's daily numbered poem.   I like that phrase.  Just recently, I've been adding some guardrails/rules/inspiration lenses to the daily haiku.

(What's the difference between a ritual and a chore? What's the difference between a ritual and a "practice"?  how about "habit"?). Habits, rituals, chores, practices...

It makes me think of "rituals of connection" (Gottman).  Also for friends... weekly playlist swap.  J and I do long coffee mornings on the couch as the day wakes up.  

I added the phrase "contemplation" to the title bc it was a C word... but shares the idea that it needs to be regular.  Calm?  Rituals of Curiousity?
