I'm finally getting to the point in my life where I care less how weird people think I am, so maybe I'll try it soon. I find cemetaries tranquil places though I don't visit my own ancestors. They're all buried more than three hours drive away.

Often when travelling I will go to the graveyards...so I often get teased about this but I am glad to see someone else with a similar fascination.

I learned about a whole Indian family who died in the rapids right beside the cemetary. Their Indian names printed under their Christian names. The area we were in was one of the larges fur trade routes in Canada.<BR/>The last one was a Masonic stone. The man died at 25yrs old. He could only become a Mason at 21.

We walk on bones. After we went to the visitation at the funeral home, we went to walk on bones. It is a communal moment with the dead. A time of clearing of the mind. A time to learn from the dead what we would never learn if we were not amongst them. There is a peace and a respect for life that comes with this type of meditation.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905830674998866312noreply@blogger.com
