The atheist’s lament
This is a very sad story. I do not know how this Christian woman reconciled her childishness with her injunction to follow Christ, but somehow she managed.
Cousin Chris moves the sideboard!
Raven’s song
This is the Ravensong, for one of the lead characters in Midnite Moving Co.
Talked to Lois today
Her year has sucked – she lost all her dogs except Lazarus as well as losing her only daughter. But there is a chance she’ll do a midwifery apprenticeship in Sequim, so I’m really hoping that works out. She’l be coming through town in a couple of weeks.

La dia de los muertos
Celebration of the ritual goes back to prehistory in Mexico. Today November 1st is the day of the innocents (children who died) and November 2nd the day of the dead; November 1st is a national holiday.
Today I mourn for a number of people. Granny and Grandma; Grandad and Unca Dave; Cousin Michael and Cousin Deirdre; John and Kaitlin. I mourn for lives cut short and the grief that spills over into the lives of those who miss them.
