We do a dumb supper at Samhein, as well. And, at Mabon, we to to the farmers' market and cook a meal together.

Beautiful and true. Bake bread and know thyself. Break bread and know others.

“It looks like feeding people and making sacrifices in order to help others and preserve relationship, while still maintaining a healthy level of self-awareness and boundary-integrity. It looks like making a conscious choice to forgive others for stupid small things, like the person who cut you off in traffic, or the hairdresser who implied that your pre-cut hair resembled a mullet. It looks like forgiving yourself for mistakes, while also learning from them, and vetting yourself against an evolving code of ethics, personal and communal. It looks like thinking about each person you encounter as a complex, feeling, thinking creature. It requires thinking like an actor, an artist, a writer, a storyteller, a ritualist.”

Sometimes, when we throw around words like compassion, forgiveness, etc…. this is exactly what we have in mind… but fail to get across because others can’t understand it in quite the same vein, derived as they are from a worldview that only pays it lip service.

And yes. Mourning is important, a part of the process. But… a part only.

I am floored. I have no idea even where to start with a response to this. I think I will take a small chunk and leave the rest that needs to be said to others. Thank you for affirming exactly what I have been struggling with lately – mourning is important. I have recently been considering rites of passage and the idea of embracing Ereshkigal. Sitting with loss and the uncomfortable are necessary for us. And denying that is more than detrimental, it’s destructive to the soul. So thank you for the unintended back up.

I wish someone would find this looney old man a quiet corner to sit in and play with his grandchildren. The sad thing is that there are people who sincerely believe this nonsense
