Celebration is a confrontation involving the giving of attention to the transcendent meaning of one's actions.
Celebration is self-restraint, is attentiveness, is questioning, is meditating, is awaiting, is the step over into the more wakeful glimpse of the wonder - the wonder that a world is worlding around us at all, that there are beings rather than nothing, that things are and we ourselves are in their midst, that we ourselves are and yet barely know who we are, and barely know that we do not know all this.
Celebration is not to be endulged in overly hastily — don't whistle until you're out of the woods.

Company is often prefered in the form of those who find you interesting over those you find interesting.
