I was glad to read the positive treatment of Mexico's "Day of the Dead." The humor especially took me. Some may see a familiarity as expressed by Francis of Assisi's "Sister Death," maybe a thought
that death is as common to human experience as family. Everybody has a family, and everybody experiences death, often multiples of it. And with a faith that life persists after physical death, some see it as the doorway to a better afterlife. John Donne's poem, "Death be not proud" comes from this belief.
You have no idea how tempted I have been for a long time to move to Guanaguato or Mixoacan , but I think that urge is not likely to be resolved. Some pain problems leave me not up to the task of packing or moving. That's today. Maybe tomorrow will bring along a more urgent desire. Meanwhile, thank you for showing us that it can be done, and for sharing some of these wonderful cultural notes.
I´m mexican, and i was not aware of that amazing and beatifull expirience you had, it feels a great joy reed that our culture it´s vauled outside México, and that you grant the people outside México to known more about our culture, values and history, and share how our families holds history among our culture.
