Ambient Light

Friday evening, October 31st, as the sun makes it's exit, stage left, lingering around a bit with it's golden glow waving goodbye until tomorrow at dawn when it rises and shines it's bright beautiful crown of silvery, sparkly jewels...accompanied by Venus...stella spectaculár, muy bonita, can't help but show off, all happy and bright, hanging over a young crescent moon, La Luna, the sliver of creamy, white light grows, stretching, right before my eyes...a glow surrounds it's newness as Venus also dons a warm-looking, fuzziness. Quite the atmospheric effect, distinctly arranged as planets position themselves according to constellatory assignment. Bravo Author, Creator and finisher of life!

This weekend is very much about All Saints and All Soul's Day-The Day of The Dead (Dia de Los Muertos)... observed by Catholics and highly revered in the Mexican culture as holidays that celebrate and remember loved ones who have preceded the living in death. A time to reflect, connect, perhaps disconnect or reconnect from or with the vastness of sinners and saints. Yes, well there must be a fine line between the two entities, what with all the dogma, pragma, idioms, maxims, dictum's, laws, canons, precepts, truisms and falsehoods... with all that rig-a-ma-row going on... the question begs to be asked...Who can keep track? What is right, wrong, good, evil, better left unsaid or to intercede in dire times and places of need?

Good thing humankind innately knows in accordance with where, what, who and how the heart and soul speaks... in gentle whispers, in loud clear, succinct, straight to the point manner, fashion and form, in deafening tones, mild, mundane, monotone, yet mighty, kind, compassionately, honestly, fervently, with a fury and fire, a vengeance for doing what is right? Saints earn their "stripes," honorably, with humility, in a holy, sanctified place of perfection, power, peace, glory and comes with a high price attached, paid in full... in order to posture oneself in such a high ranking place of privilege as this. Wow...let's hear it for All Saints' and All Souls everywhere. My goodness, your goodness, may goodness, light, pure love and more of the same follow you where ever you go. Yeah, keep a watchful eye on us survivors of this here cruel, crazy, beautiful world, would you? Yes Saints, are you listening, watching waiting for our call, plea, prayer?
