A gesture is a tiny sign of commitment to something. When you open the door for someone, this gesture makes you feel just a bit different. And maybe them as well.

When you light a candle. Pull out your favorite Pen. Dust off an old box of family photos. When you use a garnish or zest some lemon.  

Each of these gestures prepares us for a type of experience. They are primers, pre-commitments – each helping ensure plans go accordingly.
