We live in the tension between head and heart, doing and being. The holidays of All Souls, Halloween, Samhain and Dia de los Muertos are each observed as some form of liminal time where the veil between the living and the dead is thinnest. Wisdom traditions understand the thinness not just as literally between life and death, but also a thin veil of difference and otherness, between fear and love, the small self, and the larger reality of ecology and humanity centered in the I Am, not just the I have and I do. Perhaps we can move more toward the wisdom of the thin veil and more toward the experience of interbeing.
