<div class="verse">I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt, and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again."

<p>I&rsquo;ve mentioned ritual before, but I think that&rsquo;s tied into the larger feeing of portentousness. Ritual is one way to sate that sense of intense meaning surrounding an act or an object.</p>

<p>Any little thing can carry meaning for one person far outweighing what it might mean to others. Something about flocks of geese terrifies me. It&rsquo;s not a logical fear, it&rsquo;s a sense of foreboding. It&rsquo;s not the geese themselves, it&rsquo;s the concept of geese, the lack of any ritual to solve the problem of geese.</p>

<p>It&rsquo;s dumb. Geese are dumb. There&rsquo;s no reason I should feel any sort of emotion at all surrounding geese, but I do.</p>

<p>Ritual is like that. There is some level of meaning that&rsquo;s inexpressible except if you can find a way to come at it from the side. Use words like &lsquo;portent&rsquo;. Describe it as an odor, a sense, a mystery. Ritual and sensation are wily and wary critters that want nothing less than to be identified, pointed out, made plain. You&rsquo;re supposed to just go along with the ritual and accept the portentous as fact.</p>
