At the International Museum of Folk  Art in Santa Fe, they were celebrating the Day Of The Dead in Mexico, a holiday there honoring death and the spirits who have gone. They don’t hide from death there, they put it right out there in their colorful art, and that is a trip I can take. I got this painting and carving and am bringing it home to my study.

I love that they don’t hide from death, as we do, but dance in the streets about it. And I love that this spirit has found love, as I have.

I got my daughter Emma a Day Of The Dead doll, it’s a weird gift, but she is weird, like me. I think she’ll like it I love mine.
