Many other cultures seem to have a more regardful, spiritual approach to death than ours does. Our culture approaches it in such a dry, sterile, distressing way. Not that death is a happy thing for the living, but all the spirituality is sucked out of it in the U.S.
Dr. John - Always the eternal optimist, aren't you?
Tom & Icy - Awww, that is a great thought. I can see his boney tail just wagging away.
Kayla - Welcome, and how interesting that you ended up here. I know nothing about esophageal atresia birth defects but I'm glad you came by for a browse. Good luck with your son :)
Doug - Guess there's not much luck for the rabbit in November - dead or alive.
Yellowdog Granny - Sounds festive. What's in that dead bread?
Ariel the Thief - I fell in love with that picture because I really do like mosaics. The cute boney folks light up the otherwise sober celebration. I've never been to Mexico - but would love to go. Mexican food is my favorite - read that TACOS.
Actonbell - I've always enjoyed hearing about the Day of the Dead or "All Saints Day" because it falls on the first day of the month of my birth. It is celebrated in Mexico with great festivities, eats, candles and parades - not morbid at all.
Anonymous - I do prefer the living :) xo
Javajazz - Of course it counts! Cheers - to life! xo
Cheesemeister - I agree completely. Once I went to a memorial service, and my friend commented "Where's the body?" Nobody has the body anymore! My sister who lives in Albania shared with me about the process of death over there. They don't embalm, therefore having to bury the bodies as soon as possible. The wakes are held with family and friends visiting and mourning over the body, with wailing, crying, deep sorrow and grief. Not to say one must have the departed present in order to grieve, but as you said the process has become sterile, proper, removed... even impersonal.
That is one of our favorite holidays.
