- 42. Documenting the Ritual Activity February 26, 2019; 00:00 - 01:10 What I felt while doing the ritual: Found a star twinkling 1. A municipal parking sign board on one of the street lights 2. Found several stars twinkling in the night sky 3. I feel calm, looking up to the sky, observing the stars 4. Saw the light reflection on one of the windows to be distorted, indicating that the glass is concave.5. Also found “i 2 0” written on top of one of the buildings Feeling calmer and more comfortable because of the music and the blanket 6. The apartment in the building in front of me has turned on a fan when it’s cold outside 7. Found 2 trees outside my window. I always thought that there was one. 8. Starting to feel happy about the reduced inbox 9. There is a gradient in the color of buildings: red then orange (from what appears at night), and then10. yellow Laundry delivery vehicle at 12:30 am (U-Haul) 11. Inbox 0 in 2 mailboxes! Feeling relaxed 12. Drill machine sound interrupting the soothing music I have played inside 13. Change of music to counter the drill sound 14. All chats deleted. All groups exited. No more digital trash. I feel free and relaxed. 15. I wanted to hold on to a lot of things, but forced myself to let go. A.
