If, in order to save the life of one or more children, I had to add a text to the biblical canon, I have a little something ready to be included: “A Ritual To Read To Each Other” by William Stafford. I have all kinds of texts I like to share and read aloud and discuss with people, but there’s nothing quite like this one. It’s a whole theory of culture in under a minute, and I hear/receive something new every time. If you can get people within speaking distance to sit with and discuss it slowly, a gentle, illuminating, and deeply discerning spirit will often arise where it wasn’t before. Tip: Have someone read it aloud twice and have folks discuss the images that stuck out from memory before letting the group have the words printed out in front of them.
