lantern walk

What a magical night for our lantern walk! Moon bright, stars shining, air crisp but not windy. SO beautiful to walk in the evening around the pond at Huron Natural Area.

We hammered away at tin cans, creating beautiful light-up-the-night lanterns. So many cultures have festivals and holidays around the theme of light. We learned a song from Germany that children sing at St Martin's Day parades, where they carry lanterns around the town while singing. It's an adaptation of the German song "Laterne." Here are the words we used:

My lantern, my lantern,
Sun and moon and stars,
I'll shine my light,
I'll shine my light, 
Throughout the darkest night.

Such a great way to welcome these longer, cooler days... creating, singing, walking together past stars shining on still water, and shining our lights.
