31 Days of Halloween: Day 7


It's Day No. 7 of our month-long Halloween celebrations this year!

Tea Meditation



Today started with something that maybe wasn't strictly a Halloween activity, but I'm counting it anyway as it happened in October! I attended a Chinese Tea Meditation (Cha Dao) session with TsiaTe. It might not be an explicitly seasonal thing to do, but the sense of connection to nature and lineage, and the encouragement to slow down and be mindful, certainly helps when you're trying to live more seasonally.

Lord of the Rings Walk





And another thing that wasn't actually for Halloween... me and my brother have been doing a Lord of the Rings walking challenge from The Conqueror this year. We've completed The Shire, and now we're about a third of the way through The Fellowship. Today we got together for a walk, which (I think) took us pretty much to Weathertop. We celebrated, not with a knife in the dark, but with Warm Blanket tea and a Halloween cupcake.

Little present from my brother!

Parkin



I had to go to a meeting this evening that I didn't want to go to, as I knew it would be horrible. So I took some parkin with me. Everything's better with parkin.
