Wow talk about an "in your face moon" tonight. La Luna, fabulous all dressed in your lunar elegance by solar illumination... word's fail. Can you get any bigger, brighter, brilliant? Simply mad about you, you know that. ~ Happy Birthday Jean Ortiz and all you birthday babies born in November! Dia De Los Muerto's... the time of year Los Mexicano's celebrate the dead with a triumphant spirit. Faith manifested. Los Muerto's... all souls, sinners & saints, especially loved ones, remembered with reverence and glee. I'm really adopting the old holiday & concept in earnest. To celebrate the deceased lives & remember fondly rather than to mourn. It's the letting go during the transition of the whole death thing that's not pretty or pleasant, but than over time you come to terms, get a grip, wrap your head around the stark reality, finality and shock... it's palatable, we go on wounded but wiser, grief stricken yet grace filled.
