Yesterday I heard a story about a young woman who quit her job. To mark the occasion she held a ceremonial burning of her uniform. I saw pictures of the uniform burning. Someone must have soaked it in a bit of fuel because that thing was burning 18 inches up into the air. The pictures I saw on the phone were quite awesome. The same day I hard about a football player ending his career with a picture of him riding off into the sunset. I like ceremonial endings like that. I believe it is important to mark transitions with symbols and celebrations. Life is short. Why not celebrate all that we can?
