Happy Halloween! Or should that be “Scary Halloween!”? Somehow it seems odd that we have a fun, child-centered holiday about spooks and ghouls and the spirits of the dead, but there’s a lot to be said for trying to find joy in the midst of fear.
How can you turn a trick into a treat today?
On Halloween we scare ourselves with skeletons, and as the trees lose their leaves we may think the bare branches ominous or dull. But there is also beauty in the bones of things, in the spare shape of the structures at the center.
In times of loss, have you found beauty in the essentials that remained?
