dia de los muertos

october 26-nov 5

2012

one of the most mystical times of the entire year  to walk the ancient cobblestones.

a folk art tour with a passion for the exotic....

food, music, art and traditions that sing with the

charm and allure that is always

San Miguel de Allende!

 

my yearly pilgrimage to san miguel for dia de los muertos has been 

filled for months.

suddenly an unexpected cancellation has opened the door 

for another soul to join us in an

soulful excursion of a lifetime.

 

there is no greater

jOY

then living life to the fullest!

 

 

come away with me

today i loosened the long dark stitches of memory

from the necklaces of october.

once fresh, their ochre petals symbolizing rays of the sun

the origin of all living things.

gathered with autumn

flor de muertos

find their way in bright armfuls 

 

to adorn pathways,

angels, madonnas, saints,

crosses, fountains, graves, altars

reminding us of the passion and fortitude

of the sun

 

and that those gone from this earth

have not lost their fiery place

in our hearts.

 

 

tomorrow i will open the warm earth

to reawaken the memory seeds

so in october i can gather their

bright endearing rays 

and honor life.

 

care to join me?
