The time I saw a Ghost

By -

 David Abram's book reminds me of all the "magical things" I've ever seen in my life and that one time I saw an actual ghost. 

The book reminded me to see all the little things I often just don't think about and to see the magic in them. Like watching fireflies from my back porch or lying awake at night in my room reading a book and being transported to wherever the characters are. These things are not supernatural of course, but I do have one experience that is.

I was staying at the Mount Washington Hotel ( pic below) with my parents. A little background on the hotel was built in 1912 by a husband and wife. A lot of wealthy people used to stay there when it first opened and it is still very fancy, They have people waiting outside the lobby to take your bags up to your room for you. The lobby doors open outward and are not automatic in any way. The hotel is well known to be haunted.

Anyway, I was sitting on one of the lobby couches waiting for my Mom to get out of a conference when all of a sudden a pair of lobby doors burst open inward and then close no one came through the doors. you could say it was a gust of wind, but I've never seen a door open the opposite of its hinges.

    I also appreciated that this book emphasized the importance of small, magical things that we often don't pay attention to because I think those can be significant. Also, your ghost story is spooky!

Amidst the Pandemic

I think having the opportunity to take Smells and Bells and then experiencing a worldwide pandemic came with good timing. Oftentimes, we’re so rushed to get from one one place to another that we miss out on what happens around us. We’re so accustomed to the lifestyle of being busy that it has become the norm for many of us. However, the pandemic has forced us to slow down. We’re now appreciating everything that we had previously taken for granted and noticing things in our surroundings that we have never noticed before.  Take this quarantining/social distancing as an opportunity to be more aware of what you experience through the senses. I don’t think my senses have necessarily heightened over the past 5 weeks, but I am actively making the choice to pay more attention to what I see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. I like going on nature/mindfulness walks and basking in the sunshine out in my backyard. This morning, I could hear a faint noise from the wind, hear the birds chirping, f

Food in the Afterlife

In Religion in the Kitchen: Cooking, Talking, and the Making of Black Atlantic Traditions , Perez talks of Ashabi and her grandchildren providing food offerings to their ancestors. This immediately reminded me of the practice of food sacrifice in early China. I've taken Chinese language classes for about 7 years now and in one of the lessons, we learned about food as well as the history of food in Chinese culture. Ashabi and her grandchildren would give food offerings to their ancestors every day. This included nine beverages (coffee, liquor, and water mixed with sugar and molasses) and nine square pieces of coconut topped with red palm oil and guinea pepper. The offerings would also include whatever food was dropped on the ground. In their house, food dropping on the floor signified more than it would in common American households. It signified that the ancestors wanted that food and had willingly made it fall to the floor. They also used dishware that had been chipped which was
