Dear friend and colleague Linda Guinee just sent me this photo of the lovely lantern that she made for the 14th Annual Lantern Festival at Forest Hills Cemetery, which took place tonight. The calligraphy reads "peace."
From the site: "The Lantern Festival draws its inspiration from the Japanese Bon Festival -- a celebration each year when a door opens to the world of their ancestors allowing loved ones to send messages to the other side. It is a time when neighbors come together to share stories, celebrate, and honor the memories of loved ones."
