Wow, this was absolutely outstanding. Thank you for such a lovely, well-thought, and thought-provoking essay to consider on Halloween as we turn on our porch light and wait for trick-or-treaters we know aren't coming, because neighbors don't know each other anymore, and the kids all went trunk-or-treating already.

Thank you! And I appreciate you saying that about turning on your porch light tonight. I was thinking about that as I wrote this, how I love seeing neighbors actually outside and visiting with others on Halloween (when the weather cooperates, which it won't this year).
