Day Of The Dead. Coming To My Study

by Jon Katz
The Day Of The Dead

At the International Museum of FolkĀ  Art in Santa Fe, they were celebrating the Day Of The Dead in Mexico, a holiday there honoring death and the spirits who have gone. They don’t hide from death there, they put it right out there in their colorful art, and that is a trip I can take. I got this painting and carving and am bringing it home to my study.

I love that they don’t hide from death, as we do, but dance in the streets about it. And I love that this spirit has found love, as I have.

I got my daughter Emma a Day Of The Dead doll, it’s a weird gift, but she is weird, like me. I think she’ll like it I love mine.
