“There are more things in heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”
~ Hamlet 1.5
Happy Halloween! Today’s episode dives into the depths of our connection with our ancestors. I invite you to listen with an ear for the connections that are present in your life to your own ancestors, whether they’re your forbears by bloodline, by the spirit of their example, or because the body of work they left behind laid the path for your own.
This modern holiday has ancient roots, and it’s inextricably tied with the dying away of the plant world that happens at this time of year in the Northern Hemisphere. Now that you’ve reaped the harvest, what is ready to die in your life? What needs to let go so that something new can be born with the Spring?
Join me in entering into contemplation about our ancestors, our connection with the past, and with the continuous cycle of death & rebirth that constitutes a human life. May these thoughts enrich your celebrations, and may you have a happy and safe Halloween with many more treats than tricks!
