The borrowed custom becomes more meaningful when its origins remain visible.

A practice taken from somewhere else holds more of its value when the source is named. Saying where a dish, a phrase or a ceremony came from turns using it into acknowledgement rather than quiet absorption, and it also explains why the thing has the shape it does. Origins are part of the meaning, and removing them leaves a form with no reason inside it.

If you have adopted something from another family or culture, learn a little of where it began and say so when you use it. Ask the people it belongs to how it is properly done. Credit spoken aloud keeps a custom whole.
