Between birth and death, we string together memories of dailiness: the view from a window, the route we travel to school or work, the rhythm of mealtimes and seasons, or cultural messages that inform our interactions, to name just a few.
Special days lift us from the mundane and predictable. They might include a trip to the ocean, birthdays, a marriage, or immigrating to a new country. A special day may signal a change in our life or even our world, and become the new every day."
