<p><span class="font-size-3">Are your closets, basements, attics, trunks, offices and garages crammed full of stuff you longer want? Your community can benefit from those clothes and other items. Take a cue from the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.planetshifter.com/node/1367" target="”blank”">localization principle</a> in the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.planetshifter.com/node/2196" target="”blank”">Transition Movement</a> and create a <strong>new giving ritual</strong> that gives back to you and others and bolsters meta/physical space in your life.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><strong>Rituals of the Return</strong> are active caring rituals that build community while feeding, protecting and reducing the amount of trash in the land-fill.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><strong>We have options:</strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">+ Every end of the month, select items that you no longer use and take them to the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://openmythsource.com/2014/03/10/spring-holidays-transition-tales-3-transition-palo-altos-spring-sharing-expo-march-16-1-3-pm-at-common-ground-palo-alto-video-interviews-hosted-by-will/" target="”blank”">Sharing Expo</a> or donate them</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">+ Volunteer at local food bank or shelter</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">+ Enjoy the planting and harvest cycle at your community garden</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">+ Invite your neighbors over for a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.planetshifter.com/node/2180" target="”blank”">pot luck</a> and talk trust and security</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><strong>Why a new ritual?</strong> What do we know about such things? Because this work can be supported within a group of dedicated people. Call this a new individual – community practice that acknowledges love and caring first for others that calls for a <strong>non-religious, spiritual sweat equity</strong> for everybody on Earth.</span></p>
<p><br/><span class="font-size-3">Ultimately, I am calling for a more hopeful footprint in service to our communities and an integration with Nature as care givers and stewards of the Planet.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><strong>New rituals are the glue</strong>.</span></p>
