I look like a ghost?
Ha! I’ve come to comfort you
and not to scare you.

    To confront one’s fear might be scaring, but joy will follow…

    I’m not afraid either. I am beginning to see that there is a light after that tunnel. Love your Catrina. Wonderful.

    And because of celebrating Dios de los Muertos these past years I too have found such comfort in remembering my dearly departed ones. Death seems more like a passage than like “the end.” Thanks for sharing your beautiful photo and words.

    We are often afraid of the things that love us most.

    Your Day of the Dead figures are often seen in local altars. The biggest display is always at the Oakland Museum. The display in your photo looks like kind of altar-y too.
