dia de los muertos?

i know it's a bit late for this. but i'm not around here much these days & i'm wondering how or if you celebrated. anyone have any interesting observances or encounters? i created an altar space for the community to come together & honor their departed. it was a beautiful & intimate collective creation & we spent the afternoon sharing stories about our grandmothers and such.

little suprise visit from a trickster at twilight, who materialized out of the darkness of the crossroads seeking some warm food. he had an unrecognizable accent & spoke in an antiquated way, as though from an old novel. we fed & cidered him & inadvertently entered into a lively religious debate. eventually, the traveler prepared to leave. but before going his way, he said simply, 'thank you for believing.'
