Halloween is an ancient druidic holiday,
one the Celtic peoples have celebrated for millennia.
It is the crack between the last golden rays of summer
and the dark of winter;
the delicately balanced tweak of the year
before it is given over entirely to the dark;
a time for the souls of the departed to squint,
to peek and perhaps to travel through the gap.
What could be more thrilling
and worthy of celebration than that?
It is a time to celebrate sweet bounty,
as the harvest is brought in.
It is a time of excitement and pleasure for children
before the dark sets in.
We should all celebrate that.
