Dear ones...

As the harvest season nears and the days near Hallows, I ask you this:

Who do you remember this season, and how will you do so?

I carry the memory of my departed father, and choose to remember him along with my grandfather who passed a couple of years ago in the manner offered to me when the eldest passed first...
Being an entertainer, I will carry the memory physically in the SF and Tuscon processions, in the form of a soldier, along with a group of stilters carrying soldiers from around the world.
If you are in the SF,CA area or Tuscon, AZ area, and would like to share in a moving meditation of sorts, I make this offer...

I am building life sized effigies, to be dressed in the clothes of the deceased, which will them be carried through the procession by their survivors to a final resting place near the altars. Families are encouraged to bring images, flowers, etc, to decorate the resting place.

If this experience moves you to be a part of this project, please contact me directly ASAP, so I may estimate materials for the project.

Regardless of how you choose to remember,
be it a wake or a single candle,
the important part is to remember...
How will you?
