Youre all about pomp and circumstance today as a special ceremony sets the tone for a celebration or a ritual. If you are involved in the planning process, set aside tradition for the sake of creating meaning for all involved. But dont try to make a decision unilaterally or the harmony in your group might quickly disappear. Gatherings develop a consciousness of their own. Futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard wrote, Synergy means joining to co-create so each is able to receive ever more of what attracts us through joining rather than opposing.
