Halloween • All Saints Day • Dia de los Muertos
Three intertwined events in New Mexico
I honored two – stayed away from All Saints Day though – no church for me
One of my only spiritual experiences happened in a church on All Saints Day
and it scared the heck out of me – cut too deep
anyway…..
I’m completely embracing Dia de los Muertos
I pored over ofrendas reading every scrap dedicated to people who have passed through this life
danced to the beat of a skeleton samba band
oohed and aahed at the Marigold y Muertos parade
pounded the earth to the ancient sounds of Aztec drumming
Every day I become more and more New Mexican
feel it seeping like sand into my every pore
aaaah……amor
Great pics! Your little ghoulies are adorable.
