• A belly laugh
• Any song sung truly from the heart
• Forgiveness between beings, the wiping of the slate and the release of strained tensions
• A smile at the beauty of nature — the peace that comes in a hallowed grove, the awe of a spectacular sunset, the marveling at the complexity of the natural world — perhaps when watching a bee pollinate
• Compassion extended to a being weaker or more vulnerable — carrying a spider outside, for example. (The gods, or God, or whatever your preference, are more likely to treat you the same — we are infinitely more puny to them than a spider is to us. If we cannot extend basic gentleness to a being so much weaker than us, why would they feel we deserve the same?)
• Any artistic activity done for its intrinsic enjoyment. To draw, to sing, to write, to dance, to create simply because it brings joy.
• and so much more

all of these things baptize the heart each time we engage in them
