Libations for the Ancestors: Oakland, CA












Today, at Lake Merritt the Libations for the Ancestors was really lovely. Everyone got a chance to share reflections and pour. Unlike the larger ceremony in October, this one is small enough for all gathered to participate.

Afterwards, some of us continued the conversation over breakfast at a new restaurant across from Children's Fairyland. Brother Alaman Haile brought a prayer which we read together at the close of the ritual. I'll post it here later.
