Honoring the past.<\/p>\n
Honoring our ancestors.<\/p>\n
Honoring the goodness in people now departed.<\/p>\n
In this world that often feels chaotic and crazy, holding on to the ideals of the good people who have come before us can be a small lifeline of grounding and stability.<\/p>\n
I hear from people all the time who don\u2019t feel as if they have this within their family lines. \u00a0Maybe their family ancestors, at least those that they know of, aren\u2019t who they want to be or who inspires them. \u00a0That\u2019s why I think sometimes a spiritual practice can be so helpful, and All Saints\u2019 Day and All Souls\u2019 Day can be wonderful stepstones towards thankfulness and gratitude.<\/p>\n
On All Saints\u2019 Day, we remember those known and unknown who were holy. \u00a0 I often think of how I can align with those known and unknown saints who stood up for the the right, the visionaries, the idealists. \u00a0What is my right, my vision, my ideal? \u00a0What people showed courage over fear, bravery over cowardice, and made a difference in the world?<\/p>\n
In the Celtic Calendar, this day was called Samhain and was the beginning of the New Year. This beginning \u00a0implies that it is a space that hangs between the Old Year and the New. \u00a0This is how we began to see the boundary between the living and the dead can be blurred as we offer our great respect to those who have come before us. \u00a0The tradition of offering \u201csoul cakes\u201d to the dead began \u00a0out of great respect for the dead in many countries. \u00a0I also think this ties in with the warmth of the season \u2013 how do we show respect to the life before us? \u00a0Is it food, remembering, lighting candles, offering a prayer? \u00a0Death is part of Life, and finding a relationship between those two things is often something people try to avoid. \u00a0Yet, this is something that should be propelling what we do today \u2013 how do we take care of each other and the Earth as we don\u2019t have forever here physically.<\/p>\n
Create a beautiful harvest, an altar of remembrance, have a harvest dinner, plant some flower bulbs for the promise of spring! \u00a0Happy All Saints\u2019 and All Souls\u2019 from my family to yours.<\/p>\n
Warmly,<\/p>\n
