“Samhain is the threshold to the Season of Death.
The fertile fields
of summer give way to the
bare forests of autumn.
As crops slowly die
and winter takes over,
the cycle of life is once again approaching
a renewal.”
~Dacha Avelin
Tomorrow is Halloween, and all at once I am mourning a day that hasn't even got here. A year from today I will be doing the same thing. I will be another year older, and closer to the grave, so will I suddenly be uninterested in searching for autumn leaves, or celebrating Halloween? A year can change so much. I guess I am thinking about all this because of the loss of my niece and nephew earlier this year. I am thinking about Halloweens past. Costumes and bags of candy. The California raisin costume I made for my niece. Oh my... . Autumn is helping me to let go, it's just not coming as quickly as I wish it would.
