The dead, absence, gratitude, grief and continuing consequence.
The dead, absence, gratitude, grief and continuing consequence.
First Saturday in November
Name or write the names of those whose lives continue to matter. Memory may be affectionate, difficult or mixed.
Give it enough time to become real.
Set aside a period in which this is the only thing you are doing. You do not need special objects, a particular room or another person present. Read the question slowly. Do the public act. Write something down if it helps you keep the answer honest.
The observance is complete when you have actually attended to what it asks. There is no attendance score, spiritual credit or requirement to report what happened.
Continue further if you want to.
Members have the fuller guide for this observance inside the shared Calendar, including additional readings, questions and gathering material where available.
