I think I'm tired of being worried, of feeling so tamped down. I have 4 sisters, & Halloween is our favorite holiday, the day when the fabric between the 2 worlds is at its thinnest. I want to savor it. It's been a hard time, not just the pandemic, but the past administration. Exhausting. I want to revel in the Paganism of the past, to believe in the possibility of magick in life. I hope you can feel some of that. We need some wonder...
My stepfather says this all the time, "Still above ground." Each year that passes, it has a little more significance for all of us. A wonderful post and a chance to see my home state. Bartlett was a BIG name up where my family lives, "north of the notch" in the White Mountains. I think your relatives must have settled New Hampshire!
Whoa " Yes, death is closer than you think and can come at any time. But the point is to remind yourself to live. To enjoy the ride" I can't tell you how much this line resonated with me as an ICU nurse, especially over the last two years
This was a great piece. There's a cemetery in upstate New York where over 100 of my relatives are buried. At a time when the living are not accessible (my husband has cancer and no immune system so we're grounded) I take comfort in the many forebears I can visit. And for us, It's "I'm on the right side of the grass."
I love cemeteries, especially old ones (I'm a New Englander); I've walked through many, some in the Deep South (burying grounds). One, in Massachusetts, had art installations all through it. You feel peaceful & delightfully apprehensive at the same time, thinking about what's underfoot. Luckily, not me. Not yet...
Thank you. I needed this today. I’ve been feeling “stuck”, creatively and emotionally. A bit of a pity party too. While not a kick in the rear, this is definitely a sweet nudge to just get going.

THIS WAS SO BEAUTIFUL ISAAC 😭
I’m glad we’re all still going.

Hi Isaac! I hope you're doing ok. Well, it looks like you're enjoying New Orleans, at least — I hope! Anyway, happy halloween <3
