Memorial

I went to the cemetery today to visit my mum. I used to find cemeteries scary and intimidating. Today as I walked around there it struck me how beautiful it is. And how respectful. There are so many lives gathered at a cemetery. Every life with its own story. Every life having left unique impressions on the world they left behind. It almost felt like walking around a memorial rather than a cemetery. A massive memorial to all of those who have lived their lifes in this crazy world, and then left it behind. Everyone having lived on their own terms, and left it in their own way. It also put things into perspective. So many have come before us, and so many will come after us. I don't know, it's hard to explain. But it felt so peaceful and beautiful to walk around there. I've never looked at it that way. Maybe it's me that's catching on slowly.
