In this night
where veils are thinnest
and the cries of our Beloved Dead
can be heard across waves of time,
think upon the past,
see where your feet have trodden,
and learn from the landmarks and trail blazes you left behind.
In this night
when Harvest is over,
abundance is gathered and cold awaits,
look to the future,
plan and ponder,
but lose not yourself in the dreaming that is so tempting on these long nights.
In this night
where past and present linger
and beings open up to the worlds beyond,
pay homage, do honor,
and count your blessings,
for the waves of time roll on with or without us as we pilot our own boats on this sea of life.
