Oh big deal, it's Halloween! Actually this means "The Eve of All Hallows Day" which is the night before a sacred holiday celebrating the ever-living whom we call "dead." So Halloween ought to be a sacred holiday. Not a time for stupid costumes and debauchery.
Okay, I bow to the popular desire for a "costume day." I know it can be fun. I have enjoyed many a Halloween party. Go for it, if you feel like it. We need a time of spontaneity, irony, laughter, free self-expression. And some costumes are not "stupid" but wonderful.
But if you don't feel like that, maybe you could tune in to the deeper meaning of the time. Scorpio is the sign of "death" but also of rebirth, of the way to immortality. It is no accident that Halloween falls within that sign every year.
}What's Needed{
Lying on the ground weak and sick he feels
A burden to himself and all. But nearby in
The river a group rows a canoe and tries to
Dance in it. Their energy might mobilize his courage.
The maize is real and nourishing, a solid crop,
So celebrating harvest comes quite naturally.
The drinking and the feasting carry on past midnight
Till rancid stimulation reaches a dead level.
A rabbit watching from a seat above his burrow
Wonders what the noise is all about. Timorous, he
Doesn't trust intoxicated humans but believes in the
Moon rising over the hills. Somehow he gets what he needs.
