    Oh! Oh, that’s a beautiful glimpse of an incarnation of souls – and to see it on the eve of All Souls’ Eve, too…

    Thanks Robin,

    awesome photo. It comes to me as a comfort at this time when i have such resistance to buying pumpkins to carve to let rot on my porch to commemorate/remember the dead. The irony of people dying of hunger in world today, while we purposefully spoil food to remember them.

    this photo speaks to me of how we can remember the dead more gracefully
