Spent a fair amount of the day at the 24 hour Relay for Life (American Cancer Society fundraiser). It was joyous to see the surviors walk/ride the first lap, to see the children entertain and be entertained, to see old friends greet each other in the celebration of life.
Tonight was a little different story. Far far too many luminerias were lit, under the full moon, while a mournful "Walk On" was sung and the thousands of people walking fell silent. If the morning was a celebration of life, the night brought rememberances and silence except for the sounds of people's footsteps, walking on.
