This October 31st, we light—not to chase away the dark, but to walk beside it. Across cultures and seasons, light becomes ritual: Kandils shaped by memory. Jack-o’-lanterns glowing with play. Advent pyramids rising in quiet windows. Diyas flickering with oil. Candles lit for those we carry.

In this episode, I reflect on how light becomes story—how remembrance, ritual, and renewal shape the way we move through seasonal change.

A quiet weaving of presence, memory, celebration, and return.
