"That which can be named must exist.
That which is named can be written.
That which is written can be remembered.
That which is remembered, lives."
--The Egyptian Book of the Dead

Also, never write the names of the Dead in red ink (Nile river when during a drought).

This is a black-and-white photograph of Spring Grove Cemetery and Arboretum in Cincinnati Ohio The scene is dominated by a large, gnarled tree with a thick, winding branch extending low to the ground. Numerous gravestones and monuments of varying sizes and designs are scattered throughout the grassy, leaf-strewn landscape. Both of my parents are buried here. I shot this after my mother's funeral.

Dumb Supper Ritual: A Silent Samhain Meal to Honor the Dead Jump to Ritual As the days grow shorter and the veil between the worlds thins, Samhain offers us a time to honor those who have passed before us. One of the most poignant and sacred ways to connect with the energy of deceased loved ones during this season is through the traditional practice of the Dumb Supper. Sometimes called Silent Supper, this ritual meal has deep roots in both European and American folk traditions, which have evolved over centuries.

At Samhain, intentional silence becomes sacred remembrance 🙏

Learn about the Dumb Supper ritual as a silent meal of remembrance, gratitude, & connection between the living and the dead ❤️👻

When your beloved dead don't know where you are

and you have to "call" them

#MCM style

in a way they'd understand and respond to.

Cuz they've never been to #Boston.

A sunny day at the local pioneer cemetery. Leaves are still green, but the squirrels are busy collecting all the fallen nuts.

The final headstone cleaning of the season and the day is PERFECT. 🍂🍁

The rise of AI tools that write about you when you die Families and funeral directors are using AI obituary generators to more efficiently memorialize the dead. What happens when they get it wrong?

OK, seriously? As someone who took care to write an obituary worthy of the man who died, this disgusts me. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2... #AIOverreach #HonorTheDead #AuthenticMemories

Before cleaning: A very tall tombstone, dark from the past year's grime.

After cleaning: Shiny tombstone is now shiny! Okay, more like a pale grey, but the grime has been scrubbed & rinsed away.

Volunteers gently cleaning tombstones in the rain and amongst tall trees.

A curious Crow perched on a pine tree watches me as I clean.

*humming to themselves*
🎵🎶I'm cleeeeaaaning in the rain, just cleaning in the rain....🎶🎵
I haven't been this damp & grimey since my camping days. LOL Doing this devotional activity in the rain brought me joy & I wasn't alone. At least 20 volunteers didn't mind the weather. #DruidSky #HonorTheDead

A tombstone wet from the rain, with scrub brush at the base.

Cleaning headstones in the rain is the best. Talk about embracing the elements.
