Samhain. All Souls' Day. Día de los Muertos. All Hallows Eve. Halloween. Whichever label you prefer, this is the time of year when the veil between the living and the dead is believed to be at its thinnest.
Remember to take a few moments to send remembrance and love to those who have passed on. It is, after all, a journey we all will eventually undertake.
The knowledge of our own mortality is what gives our lives their greatest purpose: to Love. A force so powerful that even the veil has no hope of dimming it.
Also—if you can—take a moment to observe the trees. Every Autumn, they teach us a lesson: the importance of letting go. It's okay; nothing (or no one) is ever truly gone.
Spring will come. Life will renew. The forest will become whole once again.
So. Can. We. Every leaf that sails on the wind is a promise that things are going to be okay.
Whatever day you celebrate, my wish for you is that your heart be as full as a bottomless cauldron filled with big-sized Snickers.
