Following Mirabai's willingness to violate social norms for devotion, performing unconventional expressions of love and remembrance on grief anniversaries.
Mirabai did things that scandalized her world: she renounced marriage, danced in public, sang ecstatic poetry, refused the roles assigned to her as a widow. These transgressive acts were expressions of radical love. On grief anniversaries, this concept invites you to consider: What would be a transgressive act of love for the person you have lost? Something that violates what is "proper" or expected? It might be: planting a tree in an unconventional place, creating art that is raw and unpolished and public, traveling somewhere meaningful, spending a large sum on something they would have loved, making a art installation, or speaking their name loudly in a place where it's unexpected. Transgressive here does not mean harmful; it means refusing to keep your grief small or hidden. Mirabai refused to hide her longing; she sang it from rooftops. Your grief anniversary might be a day to do something bold in your person's honor—to let your love be visible and strange and unapologetic. This breaks the social contract that grief should be private and quiet.
