I like this image a lot! At first, I thought "what?", both because I have no experience with trick or treating, and because I couldn't see any connection between collecting candy and taking a retreat from the flow of everyday life. But by the end of this piece, I've bought into it, and I really enjoyed how you've developed it over the course of the last two essays.

On a related note, I'm going to a little retreat next week - after wanting to do so for the last couple of summers, I finally made it happen. There's lot of candy to look at and sort through, and I'm curious what will come out of it.

Hi Jozef, thanks for letting the image sit! I'm glad it could eventually resonate with you, and also that you going into retreat. I'm excited to hear what comes out of that, and eventually to read some of the fruits of that period of reflection and reorganization, too.
