Creating the Cosmos for the very first time

Spontaneous fellow that I am, I simultaneously created and performed my first ritual today.
I lifted a blanket in the air, representing heaven, and laid it upon the floor, representing earth. I folded it twice, partaking in the act of creating the cosmos, and sitting in the centre, I became a part of creation.
I closed my eyes and remained silent for a few moments before filling a cup with water, and placed it to the north of the sacred space, representing the element of (you guessed it) H20. I sprinkled a few drops upon the blanket and upon myself. I lit a candle and placed it south, representing the element fire, placed a fan on the east side, representing air, and the element earth to the west.
I sat in silence again for a few moments before turning to each direction and thanking the creator and the gods for blessing us for each element, and again sat quietly, before ‘unmaking the cosmos’ thus ending the ritual.
It felt really good actually doing something, instead of just thinking about it all the time, or just meditating. I suck at mediating. I needed something that involved physical action, and I was able to achieve a moment of peace through the flow of my actions. It felt very natural 
I’m not going to be on the computer much this weekend. I’ll be spending the next three days hanging out with Shanny.
Have a grooovy weekend
