In the Quechuan language spoken in parts of Peru, the word *takanakuy* means "when the blood is boiling." Every year at this time, the community of Chumbivilcas stages a holiday called *Takanakuy*. People gather at the town center to fight each other, settling their differences so they can forget about them and start over fresh. If my friend and I have had a personal conflict during the previous year, we would punch and kick each other—but not too hard—until we had purged our spite and resentment. The slate between us would be clean. Is there some humorous version of this ritual you could enact that wouldn't involve even mild punching and kicking? I recommend you dream one up!
