The air you breathe has particles of air that were breathed before. It touched people around you, those who were in this place before. It may have come in from the wind off a buffalo’s horns, a rabbit’s sneeze, or from the back of a butterfly’s wing.

You are breathing the breath of your ancestors. As long as you breathe, they too live in you.

Feel the song of your heartbeat
Thud dump, ___/\__/\__ Thud dump __/\__/\__

Thud dump, ___/\__/\__ Thud dump __/\__/\__

This is the beat of the drums, of those who have crossed over before you. The dancing of the feet in a rhythm of your family, separated only be time. Though they still whisper in your heart, in you listen to them. It is the clapping of hands and songs of joy flowing through your veins, put there by your parent’s love. You are the product of generations of love. A sing in your vein that was past down from
your parents . . .
parents . . . . .
parents . . . . . . . .

All the way back to the beginning.

Your ancestors are not always, some far off idea. They are where you came from.

Your Breathe ~ ~ ~
And Heart __/\__/\__

Their trials brought about your strength. Their hopes became actions, bringing about change for a better tomorrow.

~*~ YOU are that HOPE. ~*~

They gave all they were for the generations to come. As too some day you will grow, and have a family of your own, with hope for the best for them. The breath you breathe will touch their lungs one day and they will share the same heartbeat.

~*~ In the same song of joy. ~*~

We remember those who have touched our lives. Even when we know they have crossed over,
To a place we must wait to go. Sometimes it leaves us sad and at a loss. Grieving, angry, or confused when they go.

But know this….
……You are not alone.

Those we love are a spirit away. Though their body may lay beneath the earth, their spirit can still be near. You may not see them, but you can still feel their love and warmth. This time of year, is a special time. It is a time when those we love can be close to us once again for a short time.

They can cross over in spirit to celebrate with us to celebrate their life and the celebrate our ancestors by having parties, sharing food, giving gifts, offerings and telling stories, These celebrations are meant to honor and remember the dead.

We call them by different names, You may know Halloween, All hallows Eve, The Celtic tradition of Samhain, Mexico has Dia de la Muertos- the Day of the Dead, Qignming- Ancestors day of China, Fiesta de las Natitas, comes to us from Bolivia, the Old Bone or just Bone Festival is another Buddist affair in Japan, North and South Korea, Ireland, Makal, Cambodia, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Germany, Indonesia, and so many more people and places take part in some sort of celebration.
Celebrating the Love of family ancestors.

By giving food, burning offerings to celebrate their life and ours as a continuation of their family line.

~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ We remember. ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

We remember them; to remember we are part of something bigger than ourselves.

As the poet Gregory Orr Once said,
“We do this not to make loss beautiful, but to make loss the place where beauty starts”

When we need the guidance of those before us, remember they are not gone. They are in the air we breathe and the very rhythm of our heart. When we lose faith remember there is always healing
When we take a deep breath.

Feel the song of your family’s heartbeat in your chest
Thud dump, ___/\__/\__ Thud dump __/\__/\__

Thud dump, ___/\__/\__ Thud dump __/\__/\__

They are still here even in your darkest times and raising you up in your joys of life. Just as easily as turning on a light to bring light into a space. We too can light candles during this time to bring light to the spirit of our ancestors, to guide them too us, to uplift us, and protect us
as we remember them with every breath we take.
