I used to do some of my best writing in a cemetery back in my hometown. It was very old and the gravesides were visually clustered by some of the most haunting headstones I had ever seen. One headstone in particular [that really moved me] was literally an erected slab, possibly a 5 x 4, with a statue of a woman embracing a baby in a bed. I mean, the detail was so impressive and carved with such sentiment, I actually wept for the woman and child buried together beneath. After all these years, I still remember. Such nostalgia in five words. Excellent, MV. I will cherish this one:)

Quite moving an experience that was . I sometimes feel a connection in places where nothing remais but the monument markers where people's lives haves condensed into date of birth and death and name and little more .

Well damn. This this made me look at a cemetery in a very different way. This was sad, but beautiful.

Thank you Drea . One of my favorite past times when I was in college was to go out nights and walk the cemeteries of Tuscaloosa , Alabama . My favorite was the Bryce Hospital cemetery . Bryce was the insane asylum and any unclaimed patients that died were buried on a hill overlooking the Black Warrior River . Most of the patients only had a cast iron cross with a number on it for a memorial headstone But there were a few that had large stone momuments . I had one favorite I like to sit on and look at the river as it flowed by . I like to talk to my captive audience who never complained and I felt at ease there bring with people who were completely unjudgemental .
