Liberation Day

It's Liberation Day in the Netherlands when everyone remembers the liberation from German occupation. It makes me realize how important rituals are for us. They help us to remember things that we might otherwise forget. Just like watching the sunrise together on Easter Sunday, going to church, all the little things that we do and yet don't really notice because they're so ordinary...these rituals are what keep us grounded in this life. It's good to remember the things that count, to take note of what really matters...
