Pilgrimage

Think of an event in your life- past, present or future. You are going to create a commemorative ritual for this event. First, describe the event and why it is important. Second, decide how long the commemoration will last. Then, create a phrase, a few sentences, or a poem that should be read during this commemoration. Last, describe some physical (tangible) action that is an appropriate way to remember/celebrate this event. You may want to include ritual clothing, food, or pilgrimmage.

The event that I will commemorate is my youth days in California. This event will last for 3 hours in the area of Cupertino, California. This will take place on the seventh day of June and we will be wearing Hollister or Abercrombie clothing. This is very important because it describes the origins and roots of me.
A short poem will be read:
"Tis is the place where Ryan Jeon has spent his young grasshopper days in California. A time when he was pure and innocent. A time when he was truly happy." There are many tangible actions.
1. We will go and visit his middle school. We will sit on the real grass turf and remember the days Ryan spent rolling around.
2. We will visit his classrooms and his cafeteria, the place where Ryan has received nourishment and education.
3. Then we will go to Ryan's elementary school and likewise, sit on the grass and make clover necklaces. This is a pastime Ryan has done frequently.
4. We will spend a moment in front of each of Ryan's classes.
5. We will move to Ryan's house and walk around, remembering the times of innocence and youth.
6. We shall visit Safeway and purchase a bag of "hot cheetos." This was one of Ryan's favorite foods.
7. We will come to Ryan's new house in Los Altos and remember the last days of his youth before he left for Korea.

Eros and Psyche

The story starts when Aphrodite is enraged when the morals on earth call this princess, named Psyche, more beautiful then the goddess of beauty herself, when this happens, she commands her son, Cupid, or Eros, to shoot an arrow at her to fall in love with the most low class and hideous man. He fails at this attempt by accidentally stabbing himself with this arrow instead causing him to fall in love with Psyche instead. Psyche is sent to a mountain, with her parents grieving at her conceived death, but Psyche is found in a beautiful castle with riches and galore, all created by Cupid himself. Psyche wishes to be in company of her sisters, as Cupid remains invisible, and doubt begins to eat at her as she thinks Cupid is a monster. Psyche catches a glimpse of Cupid and wakes him up by accident, and because of her doubt caused by her sisters, Cupid runs away.

The story shows that angering the god's by comparing a mortal to one is not a good idea. The human's natural pride angered Aphrodite, creating this turmoil. Jealousy is another aspect of the mortals, as jealousy bit into Psyche's sisters, they reacted by successfully attempting in driving doubt into Psyche. As doubt filled up, Psyche ruined her future of gold by not trusting Cupid.
