rakukajas:

list of mundane things that feel like ancient human rituals

• cleaning or wipe your bare feet
• breaking off a piece of bread and handing it to someone
• putting the weight of a basket on your hip or head
• eating nuts or berries while hunched over close to the ground
• seeing something startling just out of your line of sight and very quickly stepping or leaping on to a larger object to get a better view
• cupping your hands into running water to wash your face
• the unanimous protection of a baby or child in a public space where women are present
• when an elderly woman laughs and grips your forearm tightly
