Well, Leanne, of course you would write for the autumnal equinox! So beautiful to have the family altar for celebration of your ancestors. Your picture is so lovely; it makes me feel the sweetness of love given in light of loss. And thank you for illuminating the word ohigan! FWIW from the very beginning of my Buddhist practice, I have made one prayer to be steadfast throughout, and that is to reach for clarity of thought. Several months ago, one of the priests said that there is "a new definition of faith: clarity of thought". The other shore welcomes us. xoxoxoxo
