Crossed Signals

Do you catch yourself performing rituals from your childhood?  Do you step across cracks in the sidewalk or cross your fingers when crossing train tracks?  Have you stopped to examine the rituals?  What purpose do they serve?  You have rituals that go beyond your superstitions that serve no purpose other than serving your fears.  “If I don’t do this,” you think, “then something I do not wish to happen may happen.”  Is that so? Is this truly living consciously and authentically, or like a scared bunny?  Know who you are and what you are part of and you will know that you can dispense with all rituals and simply BE.  Be what?  Be free.
