Someone remembers photo YPClargegrave_zpsfd564348.jpg
Yuma Pioneer Cemetery, Yuma, Arizona
 


in a desert land
dust whirling round the tombstones
morning, noon and night—
how helpful to remember
the same end awaits us all

    No matter where we are, there is something pretty around. Just look harder to see it. I find so much interesting information and facts in cemeteries.

    Too true. We are blown in with the breath of God, exhaled into the world, and breathed back into to Him.
