Día de los Muertos

There's a bit of magic in everything, and some loss to even things out.

-Lou Reed, "Magic and Loss"

Love Of Life

"

Even when our life is most difficult, it is important to remember that something within us is keeping us alive-the life force-that lifts us, pulls us back sometimes from the abyss of despair. True spirituality does not exist without love of life."

-Nathaniel Branden

Look Death Into The Face

"The Mexican seeks for, strokes, teases, celebrates the death, sleeps with him. Perhaps he is tormented by the fear of him like the others, but he does not hide from him or conceals him. With patience, contempt or irony he looks him straight in the face."

- Octavio Paz
