Samhain is generally a time of renewal, of connecting with our ancestors for strength and knowledge in the ‘waking world’. But this waking world is asleep, adrift. It is hard today to contemplate the connection of all things (in time, space, ecology…) but the new chill helps to pull our thoughts and people close.
My people inspire me. They invigorate me in ways I didn’t even know were inside of me. All celebrations have been canceled due to recent tragic events (there seems to be tragic events everywhere) but this does not negate the importance of this mid-season. My people and I will make a fire, we will feast together, we will plan and make new worlds with our triumvirate. We will manifest goodness, with words and actions — by living the kind of life we are proud to share with others.
