As we move into the days of Allerheiligen and Allerseelen —
All Saints and All Souls — we honor a time when countless traditions pause to remember:
those who lived before us, those who guide unseen,
those whose light still flickers within our own breath.

Today’s episode and opening story that

- Poetic Narrative of: “The River of Light”

is a weaving of three sacred threads —
three ways humanity has learned to speak with the beyond.

From the Hindu and Yogic teachings of the Upanishads,
where the river is both life and passage,
and where the Katha Upanishad reminds us:
“As the rivers, flowing east and west, merge in the ocean and become one with it,
so do all beings merge into the Self.” A reminder that all currents return to the same vast source.

From the Christian mystic tradition,
the twin celebrations of All Saints and All Souls,
where we honor the luminous and the learning,
and where the candle becomes a prayer of light —
“You are the light of the world… let your light shine before others.” From the Sermon of the Mount.

And from Mexico’s Día de los Muertos,
a festival of color and laughter and devotion,
where remembrance is not sorrow but reunion —
marigolds guiding the beloveds home,
altars blooming with gratitude and song.

Together, these rivers converge —
a syncretic current of love, light, and continuity —
reminding us that remembrance itself is practice,
that breath is bridge,
that yoga — not as posture, but as presence —
is the art of staying connected,
across time, across form, across the great unseen.

So let us move together through these stories and rituals today,
breathing with the rhythm of the river,
listening for the soft voices of light that still flow through us.
