Grieving by Candlelight

It is the time of year when friends and loved ones are feeling loss, those who are loved and continues to spark in memory. Only they are not here. They continue to live in memories, happy moments living on in the past. It is a hope of mine to create ceremony, to bring those memories forward, to invites these ghosts of loved ones into present moment. Putting a candle next to their picture, and taking a moment to reflect on what they would tell me. Perhaps taking a walk on a clear winters night and looking up, finding them as the star shining as they think of me… These are just a few things I do to celebrate their memory.
