Walking around cemeteries...

This is a link to Urbpan's post about his guided nature walk around Cedar Grove Cemetery, which I think is near Boston.

This photo caught my eye:  The inscription says, "Miss you Uncle John".

I had a conversation about "sentiment" recently and how to make "place" and space for objects that reflect things that signify important remembrances. I think people as opposed to most animals do this, however, often things just get piled up and instead of being emotional and significant they become just a confusion of "stuff" and garbage.

This pair of boots with plants growing out of them are like a poem of remembrance and a recognition of impermanence. They stand in perfect contrast to all the cold stone markers.
