To those who end the year with the harvest, welcome to the new. Bread to you, sheaves of grain and fire, the swift return of the sun.

To those of you who dress up and laugh at the dark, happy hallowe'en. Candy corn and jack o lanterns to you, rum and laughter.

To those of you who stand at the edges--candles. Salt. The sulphur of matches, the smell of woodsmoke, spirals of apple peels and cloved cider. Another year, another day, respect to the dead and a sweet song to the living. Another story, another memory, another vision seen through a veil.

Slightly more fitting and eloquent a welcome than mine.

Vigil night, and dead to pray for, and going out in the dark in hope of light at the end.

Thank you.

...Thank you. I'm not exactly sure which one I am right now, but I think that was precisely what was needed. So thank you for the words.

I was thinking earlier today, in vaguer terms, that something along these lines was needed.
Really nice, thank you!
