Autumn Break

Drat, where's everybody? I finally got home from a week of slave labour, and the internet all around me is dead. :(

No idea. We don't do Halloween over here. Well, the commercial part is slowly seeping in, but we don't really have that kind of tradition. Other than going to the cemetery and light candles for our dead, that is.

I think that is a lovely tradition. We have an All Souls service at Church today.

When I was a child, we lived in a very small town in Transylvania. There was no public illumination, and the first snow fell quite early. All Souls night was particularly beautiful: the cemetery illuminated only by the candless and the whiteness of the snow, in contrast with the blackness of the soil... it's been almost fifty years that I last saw it that way, but the memory still touches me.
