They say that birds sing loudest in cemeteries, perhaps because the worms are juiciest there. I think we hear them more clearly because we are quiet. My wish is to be cremated, after any useful bits of me have been taken. But I like to walk in cemeteries. It is peaceful. Things move gently into perspective. This headstone has no engraving.

I would like to have a headstone like that, that strangers would photograph because it was peaceful and beautiful.
Ahh...moss-green. So peaceful. I also love wandering through cemetaries. So many strands of life (and death) that one can ponder on. Names, dates, ages, kept, unkept. A mine of wonderings.
I spelled cemeteries incorrectly. I hope I can still go to heaven.
Perhaps you'll go to haven.
