thanks for sharing, Millennium. Glad we were able to make it down for a bit. I liked how El Roblar was blocked off - it created a strong community feel.

Thanks for posting - and for the Spanish language. It would be great if we could have more of that here on the Post.

Beautiful event. So nice to be surrounded by so many neighbors. The music was awesome!!! Fun crafts, and a beautiful picture of my mask maker and her painted face, thank you for this memory!

Megumi and I really enjoyed Dia de los Muertos, and learned a lot. Probably the same tomorrow afternoon/evening at the Bear Dance Ceremony. Our world, our Valley, our family are learning, have evolved, embarked on a new/expanded gentility, awaken-ness, enlightenment. It is a great joy and wonder to quiet myself, too ... and to observe the SACRED community assembling, arising, singing all around us.

Blessings Suza, Sally, Katie, Tyler ... for the love, respect, patience, honoring, nurturing you have done to allow this (us!) to happen ...
