How do you practice patience when there’s a long time to wait?
“God is a river, not just a stone. God is a wild, raging rapids and a slow, meandering flow. God is a deep and narrow passage and a peaceful, sandy shoal. God is the river, swimmer, so let go.”
-Peter Mayer, “God is a River”

Samhain, or Halloween, marks the moment when, in the pagan tradition, the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead is at its thinnest. It is a time to honor the dead, to celebrate their place among us, to revisit cherished memories and to pledge ourselves to carry forward their work in the world.
Who do you feel close to this Halloween?
I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground.
So it is, and so it will be, for so it has been, time out of mind:
Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely. Crowned
With lilies and with laurel they go; but I am not resigned.
― Edna St. Vincent Millay
