It's a bright, sunny day and nothing spooky whatsoever here in Thailand. Yes, it's a time of celebration and connection with the ancestors in so many cultures. My catholic raised self is already humming, For all the Saints, Who from their labours rest, Who thee by faith before the world confessed....

I did not grow up with Halloween and struggle with it. Enjoyed your perspective and happily thinking about sending love and light to the ancestor spirits these coming days.
