I love this article, dealing with something I actualy love, cemetaries. It's not because of Hollywood or my friends or those I hear about all the time. When my parents tried to force their religion upon me, slowly I slipped away further and further, traveling outdoors into the old graveyard. I found myself very much amused at the stones and in love with the peacefulness of the dead around me. I grew to become a caretaker of sorts. It made my heart sick to think that people would bury their family members as if it were a great honor to them only to forget them, to let the straw cover the stone covers, the vases crack, the flowers die, the ground swallow up the stones and the stones to be shifted. In warmer weather I go out there and throw away broken pots, pick up the trash, dust off and uncover the headstones. I've grown to love walking among the stones simply because of the peacefulness that forms in my soul and the ability to just dance around like some invisible wraith among that which once thrived and lived, making up their own stories in my mind, trying to give them faces and personalities. In a way, it's my way of honoring those that made up the lives of those in the town in which I live.
Very well written, there iz a graveyard i go to ofter but it iz in terrible condition, grave stones have been knocked over, stollen and broken
Its not nice to think about

great article, and now i have a name for my obsession! *runs off to add it to list*
I loved reading this. Having worked in teh funeral services for several years i have no fear of death or graveyards. I find them peaceful reflective places. Living in the uk i feel im lucky. we have some really special ones. I feel a great inner peace in a cemetary though i wouldnt say i ahd the bug for it. When my grandad worked on our family tree i often went with him to graveyards to look for old graves. Unfortunately most of my family have been cremated. Crematoriums are evil places to me..Anyway ive rattle don enough..But great piece ty
excelent
harold and maude comes to mind
I love graveyards...I feel at peace. I feel almost like one would with an old childhood toy...I feel a familiarity..a memory sort of ...I feel content..at ease...
