Happy Halloween ! ! !

On All Hallows’ Eve, many Irish and Scottish people have traditionally placed a candle on their western window sill to honor the departed.

Other traditions include carving lanterns from turnips or rutabagas, sometimes with faces on them, as is done in the modern tradition of carving pumpkins.

births, transitions, post mortems

as many births as there have been among friends & family lately. . . .

so too have there been many deaths. . . .

My prayer for you today:

The eyes beholding this message shall not behold evil.

The hands that will send this message to others shall not labor in vain.

The mouth saying Amen to this prayer shall laugh forever.

AMEN

change

questions I ask myself:

1. Why do I wish to have this?

2. What will it do for me & my growth?

3. Do I truly, really, absolutely want it?
