Happy Halloween 2025

 

                    Halloween picture from 2019

In many cultures, people believe that All Hallows’ Eve is the best time to be able to talk to one’s ancestors because the veil between this third dimension and the other dimensions is at it’s weakest.  This means that the ancestor (and in some areas, other ghosts and unseen things) can be present on Earth.  

Many people in the Western World no longer believe that there is a connection to the ancestors at Halloween.  Instead, it is a time of dressing up either for a party (adults) or for trick or treating for children.  The spiritual aspect of the evening is not considered.  

Regardless of your practices, stay safe and enjoy your Halloween.

Blessings.

Leaving A Mark

 

A friend sent me this poster that says:  Leave a mark in someone’s life, but make sure it’s not a scar.  (The writer is unknown.)

She asked me what I thought that it meant.  She comes from a background of physical abuse and has many physical scars.  I was puzzled because I thought that the meaning might be obvious.  

I asked her what she was looking for in an answer to the question.  She said that she got the reference to being scarred physically by someone or some event like a car accident etc.  She felt that there was more to the very short, profound statement.

I replied that to me, it means always deal with everyone with kindness and respect.  For example, do not trample all over a child’s dreams of being an artist if their first attempts are not what we expect.  We have no way of knowing if that child might be the world’s greatest abstract artist.  As humans, we have to learn not to be so mean to everyone.  We need to find a way to accept the differences and find a way to reduce the violence towards our families, neighbours, and countrymen/women. 

She said that she liked my explanation, and left it at that.

Blessings,

Do You Feel The Rain?

 

The poster says:  Some people feel the rain.  Others just get wet. - Bob Marley

What a profound statement!  Rain is a life giving force for it brings nutrients to the earth and makes our food grow.  It feeds the trees and plants that clean the air, removing carbon dioxide and replacing it with oxygen.  When we feel the rain, we feel the nourishment and breathe in the fresh air/oxygen.  We celebrate the rain.

Meanwhile, many see the rain as an obstruction to living their lives.  It interferes with golfing, with moving around downtown areas with ease, and it floods the rivers and surrounding areas causing havoc to traffic and construction.

When the rain happens, children are energized. Many animals are energized.  The Earth is energized.  

Next time it rains, go for a walk in the rain and enjoy it.

Blessings,

Judy
