It's a ritual of Native American cultures. White sage is believed to cleanse a space of any evil spirits that may be present. This power is said to be released from the plant by the burning of the leaves, which are typically bundled into a wand or stick. Today many Native American tribes still use the stems and leaves for smudging as part of purification ceremonies.
I beg to disagree. I was best friends with my ex for several years before we got together. We were best friends even after we got married, for at least the frist 10 years. It didn't stop him from turning into a total stranger to me. It didn't stop us from growing apart. And it didn't stop me from growing into the person I was meant to be, while he just stood still and sulked. Friends can come apart too, and that's even sadder than lovers.
