Look over there - that glass just tipped over. No one of the Living touched it. It is how the Dead speak to us. T he Dead are full of Life. We see it in the statues, toys and trinkets of el Dia De Los Muertos.
Miniature skeletons sporting mohawks and big grins play in rock bands.
Paper mache skulls bear pink flowers for eyes and green lizards on their brows. Wooden skeletons on rods dance wildly, with arms and legs flailing, whenever you pull their string. And of course, they drink pulque, a fermented drink made from cactus. Look closer, though, this happy couple is of the Dead, with beaming grins on their skulls and boney arms jutting from their sleeves. On the Day of the Dead, everything is happy.
