Dia De Los Muertos All Souls Day Too

By celebrating those who came before you, you celebrate your part in the cycle of birth, death and rebirth. Honoring those who made your life possible is a wonderful way to acknowledge our debt to death.

Life is But a Dream
What do you think? In Mexico, today is Dia De Los Muertos (or Day of the Dead). This two-day event honoring those who have passed on, dates back 3,000 years - but it almost didn't survive the Spanish settlers! The problem? Instead of fearing death, the indigenous people of Mexico embraced it. To them, life was a dream and only in death did they become truly awake. Unable to quiet the revelers, the new Spanish government eventually compromised and the festivities were moved to November 1 and 2 to coincide with the Catholic All Saints and All Souls Day celebrations.Are you fully awake in your life?
