Coming from two large families, I like traditions-as long as they don't hurt people or cause brutality to animals. An animal sacrificed for food can, and should, be killed cleanly-not thrown against the wall or beaten with a stick-as some Latinos do in the slaughterhouses. Life is life, and should be honoured- especially if it is sacrificed for other life. I am a Thanksgiving Day baby, so growing up, I always enjoyed roast turkey-and still do. I do think that animals who are thanked for their sacrifice taste better.
Traditional dances, like the one that the girls did, in last week's video, are a beautiful thing-and not because they girls themselves are pretty and dress so nicely. It's all about honour, respect and not leaving anyone out.
Our grandson is visiting the Central Coast for two weeks. We have a personal tradition of making a hiking date with him whenever he is in town. For this visit he came along with us on our monthly beach survey. The survey is organized by the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary. We walk a designated beach, and look for tar, trash and dead birds. He had a great time! We've decided this is our new tradition. I know, this isn't exactly the kind of tradition you were writing about. But hey, tradition has to get started to become tradition. Loved your post Valentina and Lulu!
