Description
The Chinese have done it for millenia, so have the many peoples of Indonesia, the Philippines, and indigenous peoples around the world: commemorate and continue to communicate with their ancestors. We do it in some form through our photos and sometimes light a candle. But my travels taught me the naturalness and the beauty of building a small shrine on deathdays and birthdays and anniversaries and spending some time, offering their favorite drink and flowers and incense, perhaps even some favorite food. It keeps me aware of the chain of being to which I belong and which I am passing on.
