Halloween

I do love Halloween. Mostly the costume part of Halloween. The “taking on a persona” kind of vibe. I am working on a pair of outrageous bell bottoms, myself.

(Also, I do buy “rockets” candy because, hey, Halloween candy isn't just for kids…)

When I lived in Port Moody, I mentioned to a friend that I missed having “trick or treaters” come to my door ( I lived in a condo. Still do.) She invited me over, on Halloween night, so I came in a long, multicolored skirt and billowy top and a million scarves. She was dressed as a witch, and was generous with the candy, as kids of all sizes came to the door. There was a skeleton in her yard, having tea on a metal filligree chair and a couple of jack o’ lanterns on the porch.

This autumn 🍂 I am aware of the shedding of things; leaves from the trees, the opinions of others. A loosening of the grip of my own beliefs, in the allowing of a gentle conversation with people who have a vision of a different way of being in relation with others. A more collaborative and playful kind of society, and economy. I'm curious. And hopeful. It's much warmer and more like family.

Happy Thanksgiving this weekend. May conversations around the table be gentle and full of good collaborations.
