Forty years of life is the beginning of a cycle; it is renewal. For some cultures, in the past before the modern era exerted itself upon traditions, the fortieth year was old age, or the beginning of Eldership for a few short years until death. In American life it is a death knoll for many. Women grief, and men often wish for their younger days when they could screw for a long time, and they felt life was potential. For me, the fortieth year was sobering, and happy I was discovering a great need to do a version of a Give Away ceremony reflective of Pacific Northwest tribes.
I gathered my collection of silverware, cleaned them and ceremoniously wrapped them in black or red cloth. I gave them to couples just starting out, or families needing the boost of a gift. What I did was done prayerfully and with deliberation. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11/12/17
